I still have some things I am not sure about my change back to black, but this is a good start. The first 2 are photos of a stock bike but not my bike. My bike had factory black rims and metalic black paint, but everything else was the same. There are a lot of subtle changes, blacked out forks and engine and modified tail section among other things. First ride out and already the undertail is dirty! http://robertoakley.com/images/links...ed_500x377.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/recht...ed_500x340.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03788_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03787_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03791_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03792_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03802_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03800_500x375.jpg http://robertoakley.com/images/dsc03799_500x375.jpg

Thanks! I still have some fine tuning to do and have not buffed it out yet. I have only done cruisers in the past so this took a little more time to get done and to figure out the best system to work with the graphics. I usually sell my stock sets off the bike after I have had them a short time.

Not generally into flames, but the work on this one is top notch. I like how it's realistic and not the usual "hot-rod" flames. The tribal going over your stator cover is also an awesome touch.

I also don't typically enjoy the custom paint jobs I see on many bikes now and days but the areas where the flames are laid is nicely done.  | |

Nicest paint job I've seen on a bird yet! I love that tribal. I would like to do a tribal like that on my swingarm. I assume that it is all paint?

Pretty cool,I don't care much for flames usually because they have been done to death,but that's a classy,very realistic looking job,I like the way they appear to come from the engine via the fairing opening.I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice.
