So I'm big on the dragon/wizard theme and started thinking about a theme to go with. While there are many things that could be incorporated I'm really considering a Lord of the Rings theme. Think about this in your minds and tell me what you think...

A license plate that reads ONERING

or BAGGINS

A Speedo Face like this

A Batwing Fairing with a Mural of Gandalf the Grey

Tanned Brown Leather Seat and Bags

Exhaust fashioned to look like a sword or axe

Gollum/Frodo/Legolas/Gimly etc; painted into a collage on the tank...

So anyone else think about something this crazy? I'm sure I would never do it since I would rather ride my bike then sit and wait 2 weeks for some guy to paint it...lol

 

[snowman68]

Nope your crazy...... Jk cool ideas but I'm having a hard time deciding on a spedo face at this point lol too many choices

 

[Natedog]

a mural of the Balrog and Gandalf would definitely be very cool!

 

[MY LIFE]

You could have floor boards in the shape of a Hobit's foot. Put on a suicide shift in the shape of Gandalf's staff. ;D

 

[Natedog]

Put the eye of Sauron on the faceplate as if he's watching everything. Then have one side of the bike painted with the fellowship members along with other "good" characters. Then on the opposite side of the bike have all the "evil" characters like Saruman and the Nazgul.

Personally I'd do the whole bike with the "evil" characters. They're just plain cooler!

I showed your post to a lady in our tech department at work because she's really big into Lord of the Rings. She looked at the picture of Gandalf and says, "Cool, that where Gandalf says "Thou shall not pass."" LMAO.

 

[immortal13]

I'm pretty sure he says, "You shall not pass".

I think you should do a Viagra theme...paint a big old ding-a-ling on the gas tank. Also you could have a machine shop CNC some nice one-off pecker levers and forward controls. Heck that machine shop could even machine you some fork covers that look like big ol' dongs. It would be one hard lookin' bike! lol

 

[strykenshane]

just dam

 

[Skwerlee]

just dam

lol i find that ironic considering your sig talks about golden showers! HA HA it was just a joke of course.

 

[ronin]

love the LOR theme idea. Personally im trying to come up with a good zombie or 30 days of night themed bike.

 

[ronin]

For those who dont know what 30 days of night is ;D

 

[dejablu110]

As long as you have a plan, see it through. I like the eye idea, that is cool

 

[immortal13]

+1 on the eye

Those are some cool ideas. Also some really expensive sounding ideas. Have you considered getting some of it done in vinyl? Could get a vinyl wrap or just some characters. It'd be cheaper, if you don't like?get bored of it, you can easily take it off and it'd probably only take away half a day of riding.

IMHO, never do vinyl. It's cheaper than a paint job and looks like it. Looks like a kids sticker collection. Just save up the money a little at a time until you can do it right.

I actually have a lot of theme ideas, my main thing about posting was to see if others had any ideas or thoughts on what they would do and I do like some of the ideas you guys came up with on this one. If I chose a theme it's going to be one I am positive about, while the vinyl idea is cool I don't think it would show as nicely as paint. I think 11Stryker's bike is simple yet very well played and he doesn't live to far off the beaten path from me, maybe one day I will catch up with him on the road. As for skwerlee ... to even come up with something like that ... you got more issues then TV Guide, lol.

 

[Minibob]

I don't know what IMHO means. Not current on all the texting lingo. What they can do with vinyl nowadays can be pretty **** good. Some doesn't look good no doubt. You can do more with paint. But, if you're not sold on an idea, you can lay it out on vinyl for awhile and see what you like. It can save you a lot of $$$$. Especially if you want something simple.

 

[immortal13]

In my honest opinion
