Side flame decal - opinions please

Hi all,

I'm really tempted to put this flame decal on my solid black ONE. What do you think of it? Also how hard would this be to fit for a first timer? Matt at cooper flags said I should get a pro to do it but I may try to do it myself.

Not my C O' T but not bad.
Looking at the complexity of the layout, I'll agree with Matt.

BYW You're a brave soul for asking for opinions here.

So long as people are honest I don't mind what they say
I really can't decide on this type of decal myself... Minis really suit a modern stripe/flag type decal but I thought this flame looks subtle enough to get away with.

We'll see what the general feeling is

my 2cents. the flame it self if nice.. but having the black body trim and the flame after it.. leaves it to detacted for the right effect. The look IMO should be as if the flame is coming off the wheel itself. Also i would have someone else do the install for the reason that if they Screw it up they have to replace it Free of Charge in most cases. Which was the case of my Bonnet Strips that had to be replaced 3 times before he got it right.. Ok close enough for gov. work. Im not that strick. if Interested 1st attempt he put them on backwards. 2nd the one of the strips were off by 2 inchs. then he got it right on the 3 try. All this at no extra cost, Price was $30.00 us for the strips and install


Have fun, Be safe and Keep MOTOV8N
