In the name of safety (and coolness) I just put some retro-reflective flames on my helmet. So, during the day it's a dark silver (dark gray metalic) with black flames. In the evening, it looks like a black helmet with silver flames (when light hits it).

This is a picture of my helmet with the camera flash turned off:


Thsi is a picture of my helmet with the flash on:


I am sure that may pick up another 10 HP with the flames

Cool, are they the 160 flames, or the 150s? What kind of oil do they recommend?

Hey Soren! I saw your original pixs a couple of weeks ago and based on your recommendation ordered up a set of the flames for my full face too!(Black helemet with black flames). Just put 'em on tonight and they look great - very subtle during the day since they're black on black, which I really like. Then they flare up silver when you shine light on 'em at night. Brilliant! I also ordered the crossed checkered flags for the back of my skid lid (again black on black) - and it looks really sharp! And best of all, they were CHEAP!
THANKS for the lead! I feel safer already...

They dont have them listed on their web site, but I am willing to bet that if you emailed them they might. A while back I emailed them a Triumph logo, and they said they would do it. I wanted to put one on the back of my sissy bar. The size they said they could make was going to be a little bit larger than I wanted, so I didnt get it.

FYI I am playing e-mail tag with Sarah at that place. She looked up the correct dimensions for the Union Jack flag!! Looks like it's coming true I'll let you guys know how much when I hear back from her.
