Had a local guy do some striping last night on the America. Turned out pretty sharp imho. Not too bold, but a nice accent, anyway, thought I'd share em. Been a while since I've posted anything, so not sure I remember how to do the pictures, but I'll see if I can figure it out. Let me know what you think.

Okay, well the links are there, but clearly I did something wrong. If anyone more technologically saavy than myself could help me out, I'd appreciate it!

I have seen this guys work and it is phenomenal, yesterday when he cruised up he was in a dropped flat black "delray" and of course it had been pin striped....I think he even had the custom shrunken head hanging from his rear view mirror.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Thanks for the kudos. As far as seat comfort, I like sitting down lower, and I don't notice a big difference unless I ride all day.

They're Arlen Ness blinkers. If you want to try em, make sure they're single filament.
