Default etiquette question - skulls

OK. I have the Willie G. Skull collection currently. Footboards, grips, timer cover, mirrors. I want to get the derby cover but I'd like to get the #1/103 skull instead of the pure skull derby. OK or not OK to mix the 103 skull and regular skull on the bike? Opinions?

LOL...it's your bike do you like what you want to do?

Who really cares what others think...be creative do what you want.

Personally I'm not a fan of skulls, why would you care that I'm not? See?

Go for it. You make the payment and ride it, get what you want. I like the idea of not everything being a perfect match. Look at 1000 bikes you'll see 1000 different tastes.

Sorry. You can not mix skull collections. It's in the P&A catalog, under notes to retail consumers.

+1, I read the same thing. Once Harley knows that you mixed one off their collections, especially the skull collection, they'll find you and take your bike from you for not following proper protocol. The only caveat they mention in the P&A catalog is "if consumers desire to mix collections, then the only alternative is the Ice collection." Looks like you've gotta put skulls or the ice. This is why my bike has a hodgepodge of crap on it, I don't wasn't to be stuck the spot that you are in now....good luck in your decision.
