RE: Painting saying's on a bike?
I did a lot of research on vinyl. I think that would be a very good option if your worried about trade in time???There are some quality products out there and if you keep her waxed up I don't think you will have a problem fading or anything.... I just put flames on yesterday and they look great. I get tired of them or trade my bike in, off they come.

Bambam, live in the moment, man. Screw worrying about the possible effects on a possible trade in value at some possible time in the uncertain future. If you want to pay tribute to your Dad by putting something on your bike, do it. It's a nice thought.
And Creepshow, that is a sweet looking flame job. More pics?

I went to a local guy who does car pinstriping and truck lettering and had my tourpack lettering painted on. Only cost $20 and came out perfect. It's your bike - do what you want regardless. (I'll bet your dad would be real proud of it!)

met a guy a couple weeks ago with "mean Jean" on the oil tank of his superglide. It was his pet name for his wife who died a year or so ago. Seems she was always after him to go buy a motor cycle cuz he wasn't getting any younger. He did and remembers her on every ride.
I say go for it.

BTDT. Painted my number on the bob tails of two FXR's. Seemed like a good idea at the time....<shrug> Decided to sell one of 'em & knew I couldn't let someone else ride my number. Had to pull the fender & get it re-painted. Not a big problem, but some extra cost. On the new bike I'll buy a fuel door, or a derby cover, or a point cover, something, & engrave it on that. I can stick the stock piece back on if I sell it, & if it'll fit whatever I change to I'll still have the engraved piece.
