2016 Road Glide - FLAME ON, OFF, WTH?
« on: August 24, 2015, 06:56:13 PM »
Given that the 2016 Road Glides now have an option not only of colors but graphics, which do you prefer? (No Shark Hating Please)

FLAME ON
FLAME OFF
FLAME WTH

Flame Off! The flames in the Flame On pic look too squat, and they just don't flow well on the new RG fairing. They look amateurish and just stuck on. And the flames on the saddlebag lids just look plain stupid to me.

The Flame WTH pic is OK, but I really prefer the more refined look in the Flame Off pic.

That yellow with flames looks just plain terrible. The blue one is not bad, but I would prefer the no flame red

Growing up in the 50's and 60's I am partial to flames although I like them longer and overlapping.

X2 for the most part.  Bag and tank seem ok from the pics, but that fairing graphic looks like a Pep Boys stick-on flame decal.  It doesn't even flow with the fairing lines.  Too squared off near the headlights.

Nope, Still looks like crap. Like they couldn't figure out if they wanted to do a flame or tribal graphics so they mixed them together.

 Flames are way over-rated/over done IMO, just not my thing any more. Graphics are OK on some, not so good on others. I don't care for the graphics on the blue one.

The flames look wrong, cheap and nasty stickers  :nixweiss: Where have all the two tones gone ? The paint finish and color is what Harley is all about.
2016 CVO range has only a few home runs, for me the RED Street Glide and the BLUE Limited are the two i like.  :2vrolijk_21:

Flames are OK with me if done right.  The subtle look (ghost flames) if presented correctly can really make an average paint pop.  I liked the smoke graphics on the '12 Skunk.  At least it was different than just flames.
I don't want to see any kind of graphics that appear to be an afterthought.  The "Oh crap, that paint looks bland.  Throw some flames on it" approach looks exactly like that, an afterthought. 

Just my two cents, Simon..... ;D
