+1 the main problem with painting is going to be getting the new flames on the frame to line up and flow into the ones on the tank though. but it would kick butt!

The only problem is you raised the bar so high on the plastics. It's going to be tough to reach it again on the frame. I could see it looking good in all black as well, or maybe these options without another graphic on the frame...

Sorry just having fun

Wow!!! lots of comments on that one, thanks guys!

Ok, first, I don't want to paint the frame with flames because I'm the kind of guy who change the paint on my bike often. I still have the Hero blue body kit and I'm waiting on another used body kit (in mail right now). So I will probably do another type of color/design on this 3rd body kit.

I consider to have the frame powder coated black. But right now I don't have the time to take the bike apart to get it powder coated. Thanks for the Photoshop Blackxb9!

The idea of painting flames on vinyl is really good Toomanytoys. But I think more real flames on the frame will be too much. Sometimes less is better than more and paint realistic flames on the frame will be too much I think.

I found the silver frame a bit too boring. I just try to find a little something to get the frame a little less boring ; )

Stou your bike is kinda like the Mona Lisa... a work of Art!!! With a orange frame no one would look at it the same.... Nor would they look at Mona the same either if she looked like the above.

I like the black frame. I also have a black frame, so I'm partial to it. I really like those flames on your bike a lot! Nice job. I agree with you on the flames on the frame and trading plastics out for different covers. If you do anything to the frame I would say just black it out or polish it up. Either way would look great with that paint job. Of course if you polish you also have to take care of it, and that is why my frame is black.
