In carrying on the love of flying for my father and grandfather (and mine too), I'm wanting to put something along this sort on my new 1200 custom. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Not exactly on topic, but did you see the last issue of American Iron, with the custom "aircraft tech" bike built by the pilot/plane builder? Might interest you.

What a great website! So many toys to pick from and get good ideas for personalizing your bike! Thanks for the info.

Then show them the photos and a copy of your grandfather's pilot's license (if you have it). Once they're done proposing, they will probably be more than willing to help you with ideas for the bike.
Creative! I do have everything of my grandfather's flying and military days (including his pilot license - he was pilot number 6 in the Navy), and also have a suitcase Sikorsky gave him during a ceremony. I'd love to get my bike classied up with his fathers history, but it'll be down the road. I've got time to find all sorts of designs to put on it. Good idea for the FBO building!
