Hello All,
I have a 2006 FLHT/I in Rich sunglo blue with a light blue (lunar blue ?) pinstripe on the gas tank. I've also added a color matched King tour pak that has the same pin stripe on the lid. I'd like to add a few pinstripes to the fairing and saddlebags, what are my options ? Can you buy the pin stripes directly from Harley ?
Thanks,
capt42a

 

The stripes are painted on at the factory, then clear coated. For best resutls, I'd look for some of the guys that do the free hand stuff at some of the bike rallies. It won't last forever, but pretty much your only option, unless you want to go painting on your bike.

 

i do pinstriping for a living, but the guys in myrtle beach do an awesome job

 

capt42a,

I have the same color in an ultra and looking to have it pinstriped. Would be intereseted in seeing it when you get done and what colors are you going to go with?

 

Dont know where you out of but Ocean State H-D in Warwick, R.I., has a pinstripping seminar of Wednesday night, 08 Feb. 06, might be of interset ifd in area. I ahve same color EG Classic and will be looking for some work this spring.

 

Ocean State - the biggest Thieves this side of the Mississippi - BlackBeard has nothing on them- LOL - MSRP x 2...

 

msbhvm, I'm looking at going with the Lunar blue to match the tank and tour pak. dhutchison, mikeisglidn, blueknight, and 1999cobra, thanks for the reply's.

I recently purchasedan'07 Ultra Firefighter Special Edition. I'm fond of theFire Engine Red, but I can leave the gold pin-striping back at the factory. I'm thinking of having a pin-striper brush on some "double-black" over the gold. (But, the tank decal is another problem altogether. Gold again. Not sure what I'll dowith that.)

But, myquestion involves thedurability and lasting nature of the brushed on pin-striping that I've seen these guys do fantasticwork with at various bike rallies, etc.So, when you say that "it won't last forever", is therea wayto minimize this problem? I'mcurious if a painter can even lightlyrun a coat of clear-coat over this and buff it down?

I know these arefoolish questions for some that have been around for a while, but...inquiring minds, ya know?

Thanks guys, Timba

I watched some guys set up ,at NY hog rally last year,,,, did it while you waited,,, awsome work!
