Default Retro Look?

I've been slowly trying to convert my Street Glide into a sort of neo-retro look. A little bit of old school with the new style all the kids are into. Anyhow I've been considering some pin stripping, but before I dropped the money I wanted to get an idea of what it may look like. So I picked up some pinstripe decales off of Ebay and it was finally nice enough (and warm enough) to put them on today. I'm curious as to what opinions there are out there. I'm not sold on the idea yet and to be honest the only part that I really like is the tank. I think if I keep the front fairing it's gotta be bigger and I need something along the wings of the batwing fairing. In the not so distant future I'll be adding some powder coated lower legs and upper fork sliders and the rear saddlebag guards wilbe powder coated as well. So here go the pics:

Ilike it all but I think you're right that the fairing one should be larger.

It looks great, but the fairing should have a bigger design.

Looks good, I was thinking about whitewalls and pinstripes on my SG. I love the old skool look, good job.

That was my objective - new school with a touch of Ole' Skool. TOO many "cookie cutter" H-D's out there plus, I'm the NON conforming type anyway...

Tank looks a little busy and the one on the fairing should be larger, overall I like it and it was inexpensive. Maybe out line it with some accent color!

I love it, where did you get the pinstripes?

I just got my tour pak from the painter and want to do some type oftribal pinstripping to the entire bike.

thanks,
Lyn
