        Don't know how large the side areas are but that doesn't look too bad.

            Yeah I think that would look pretty good!

            I could go either way on the lowers.

            But it aint my bike!

                    Real paint on that photoshop pattern will look real nice. More importantly one of a kind.

                      I get what I PAY FOR - but I paid about $100 for the one on my fender and didnt want to spend another $200 for taillights.
