IMO...stickers are for (1) children's playtime, (2) toolboxes & (3) Motorsport vehicles.

Now that's my take & you can do what you like/wish.

I think some pinstriping may add some character with out being over the top. Look at something that is more of a ghost effect. Maybe a clear or satin logo that is less noticeable.

I don't mind them that much. However, as some have said I would remove the words and the one on the right bag. Then I think it would look pretty cool, at least it would be different. I really like the idea off those reflective decals, keeps the look you want and increases visibility.

Thumbs down

Skulls are like rear chains - so last century! I don't see the attraction in them at all.

I like the idea of vinyl decals, allowing you to personalize it the way you want it (which is kind of a core value in owning a Harley to begin with), and you can change it up as often as you like for very minimal cost.

I like the orange - black combo as others do. I also agree with the few who commented on removing the decal from the right bag - to be purposefully unbalanced.

I think the reflective material is a phenomenal idea, and should be in your next decal setup.

When I had my 89 ElectraGlide painted, the only place that said Harley was on the nose cone. I had a great time with many "Harley" women saying that my bike was definitely not a Harley! One of my friend's ol' lady decided to have a bit of fun. So she told a couple of girls there that I was available to ride with when we left that place, and we'd be back in about a couple of hours. A couple looked at my bike and simply stated to "call them" when I bought a Harley. When my friends gal laughed, the "Harley only women" got pissy.

Now I am slowly removing the Harley name from my 2002 ElectraGlide.

​​​​​​​Dress your bike how you desire.

Ok, I changed it up from the Harley advertisement to a Viking/Nordic theme. I like this look a little better, that's why I decided to work with decals, so I can test out looks before I commit to paint.

I like the decals - you get to change it up as often as you like for minimal cost, and no painting - personalize it the way you like, changing as often as you like - have fun and ride often
