Can you do blue flames with a tribal inlay in silver on either side of the seat over top of the flames? It might end up being to busy but it would stay with the lines of the bike.

That is what I was thinking. silver tribal down the sides inline with the silver on the bike. Then do a blue flame, not the traditional flames, but make them look more like real fire, coming from the front of the seat in between the silver tribal. Make the blue flames real dark like a navy blue, so they blend in more and don't get too busy.

I think as long as the silver tribel connects from the gas tank to the rear fender.

WELL... I think the silver on both sides (the outer birm) to match tank to fender would work, but I'm not sure I would do the blue fire in the middle sewn in. You could have a good painter (anybody who can do the job right, not tooting my own horn) airbrush the fire on the seat. Done right it should stay pretty well intact... I have airbrushing on my seat and put on about 1700 miles afterward, along with weather(bike is covered, but no garage) and it shows only slight imperfections. The main thing would be keeping the largest amount of the fire away from were your butt will be. Funny, that is why I had done mine is to see if it would work and though I tried to not get it where I sit... I'm still on the upper portion of the art work. I'll shut up now....

I agree - if you can almost make the design flow straight thru the seat from gas tank to rear fender that would look quality - very nice bike by the way

Well, since telling you guys to slow down on the mods isn't working... :rant:

I would agree with Gas and Dave that would look incredible. :2thumbs:

I think the flames in the middle would be too busy - IMO.

I think you should focus on the metallic looking razor for shapes in the seat pan - and then use somthing like blue stingray around the sides to pick up the blue color.

If you go without the flames, have the tribal come together at the center of the seat. Can't draw on here (picture the seat standing up) but something like this..... )( ....... contour the tribal on an inward curve or maybe have either side cross ....... X ...... to match up with the other side. :zz2cents: You could even do the tribal in blue to tie everythng together.

Do a blue seat withthe silver tribal inlay on the seat. Put the tribal dead down the middle of the seat or split it on the sides.

Blue stingray hmmm is this dark blue if so maybe just run that between the tribal silver and leave the sides black
