looking for flame decal for tank
I am looking to spruce up the fuel tank on my Sportster 883 and was wondering if anyone knew of a place that makes flame decals for the fuel tank ?
I couldn't find much looking around and am also looking at other designs if there are any.
Thanks

Not to hurt your feelings,BUT, A decal on a Harley Tank is like fender skirts on a Vette. OUT OF PLACE! Wait and get a painter to pin stripe or graffic design your tank, often a plain tank looks tuff just plain.

+1. flame decals are cheesy. Do it right man.
You can see decals a mile away, and it aint a purdy sight either!!

+2 The best thing about decals is they are easy to take off.

Mr Flat, Decals went out with Flathead Valves!  Just kidding Mr Flat, Nothing as cool as an old Flatty. Decals are OK but you should Clear Coat the tank after installation to look right! |

i like the face of using a decal/vinyl ontop of the paint, cuz it allows you to remove it if you just can peel it off and not have to deal with repainting if you get tired of a design
