I stripped the flames off the boat today, tell me what you think! It was a bad ass day in Houston! I have no idea why the photos look so grainy, I'm going to toss the Canon into a lake!!

Personally I preferred it before but thats just my opinion.. and it's your boat... Looks cleaner without for sure but just not sure if it looks better.

What do you think? That's the important thing. Very Happy

Exactly, all personal preference. I have always hated the flames.....and overstated graphics on all boats. I am a bit older and they all see so "matchbox car" to me....

Anyway, love the new look.

Thanks for the opinions!

I personally love it! I had the same "matchbox car" feeling about the flames. They were on it when I picked it at the dealer and I liked the flames at first but they started to peel after only a few hours so I just did them a favor and removed them! Smile I LOVE the new look.

I like it better without the flames, but it seems to be missing something. It's almost too bare (for my tastes). What about just the word "Supra" on the back corner? Almost like before, but without the flames.

Either way, it's a sick boat.

Looks GREAT Trainwreck!

Tint those windows up for sure! I dunno about powdrecoating the tower...that seems like an awufly lot of work and I personally think the chrome will look cooler when you get the windows tinted.

I was thinking a little something white toward the back of the boat near the "22SSV" emblems would be kind of cool. I don't necessarily want to throw SUPRA back on there, but something to break it up a little bit and protect it.

Any ideas? How about a big Chevy emblem? LOL

I had it like that, but the SUPRA decal was laid OVER the flames, so some of them got peeled up a little. I left it and looked at it, but it looked like ass. I liked it better naked.

i don't have photoshop on here or anything, but if you don't want the supra in silver and want to keep the black going, get sort of a pinstriped outline of "Supra" with some bold on it in silver. something different, but if anyone knows what i'm talking about and has a little time, try it out.

I believe its a springer soft tail something or other. Its a sweet bike, probably has every piece of chrome that HD sells bolted to it. Dad's buddy. My old man has a Road King Classic thats for sale.
