Aw man my friend is an airbrush artist.  wow he did this for free.  Can u believe it?

http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/403618/

I know flames are kinda cliche'  but heck it beats stock.

ok dont believe that because its not real lol.  I was bored.

here is another fake one with flames

ok one more with lightning.

My friend is really an airbrush artist and I cant decide what to do with my tank and maybe front fender.

Hope  I didnt "flame" ya too bad Smiley

Very nice!  Print it as a decal and see if it will stick to the tank.

If your friend can do realistic flames, I say go for it. A case of beer sounds like a good price for a friend...

Hmm all i used was Eyecandy4000 filter with photoshop.  I was thinking of going the decal route but I think Ill take WD's advice and get him some beer AFTER he paints it. haha.  I wish i could airbrush.  I cant even do stick drawings, but on photoshop im decent.

I thought of decals but it seems with the sun and it being a black tank it would fade and maybe stretch.  Heck I dunno then I thought the cold might make it shrink.  We could always have a photoshop contest Smiley
Uh i know I wouldnt win.

For some reason i cant view your pictures on the bike pics page. but to reply to your comment on decals- i got an AWESOME set from speedgraphics. i got "slamwrap". i customised it how i wanted it to look (color wise, size and also he made me a decal for my front fender.) It came out fantastic, and its held up great. I HIGHLY recommend this for you or anyone looking to change the look of your bike. check out photos of my bike at http://www.bikepics.com/members/lcs151/98savage/ just to give you an idea of how it looks on a bike. id imagine that mike at speedgraphics could pretty much do anything you want. he works it up for you and emails the images to you before sending it, if you want to make changes. check out the website and forum to see other examples of his work. you can also buy generic ones too on the site- and they look pretty nice as well and arent as expensinve. i think mine were about 150 bucks. well worth it!!
