So thre stars aligned and the Mrs gave me the green light and my painter says she can have me ready in time for Sturgis.

I'd always been of the mind that the only flames on an FLHRC should be old school orange yellow and red flames. But....looking at 1001 different kinda flames-"real" flames look kick azz-but might not go along with the "Classic" style of the bike.

Discuss.

 

classic look gets classic flames. Problem with flames is they are like azz holes... Everyone has them.

 

Not to bust your bubble but I hate flames too, almost as much as purple motorcycles. But hey, it's your bike.

 

Well I thought about covering it with flowers-but that really wouldn't be the look I would be going for.

 

Flames (in moderation) on a RoadKing can look nice.
I prefer the 'ghost' style myself. They are not so 'in your face'.
What color is the bike? (Oops, just reread your post... black - sorry)
Do you have samples of the painter's work?
My son had Tri-color (Yellow-Red-Blue) flames over black on his Sporty and both of us think the style is a little over the top.
The workmanship wasn't all that great for a $1600 paint job either.

 

Flowers?? Hum... With peace signs and cross M-60 MG's..... Now that would be cool

 

flowers are nice - some thorny vines would also work - man eating plant maybe - - why ask us - do what you like!!!

 

Ok so Imma gonna go with tangarine candy ghost flames.

 

Something like this:
