Classic Flame Motorcycle Decal Set | Gloss Vinyl Flames

Description

A set of flame decals for motorcycle tanks, fairings and helmets, printed on gloss cast vinyl and available in widths from 12 to 48 inches. Made for riders who want a classic flame layout without paying custom-shop prices.

Classic Flame Decals Built for Motorcycle Bodywork

This flame decals set follows the traditional swept-flame layout that has been part of motorcycle culture for decades: long licks that taper toward the rear, layered tips, and a balanced left-right mirror. Each set is cut as a pair so both sides of your tank, fairing or saddlebag line up without guesswork. The design reads clearly at highway speed and still holds detail up close, which is where most flame graphics fall apart. Because the set is offered in several widths, you can size the flames to a small cafe-racer tank or stretch them across a full touring fairing. Apply the pair as-is for a traditional look, or trim and rearrange the individual flame tips to build your own composition.

Gloss Cast Vinyl With a Wet-Look Finish

The set is printed on gloss cast vinyl, the conformable material we use for curved motorcycle panels. Cast vinyl stretches and wraps around tank edges, fairing contours and fender crowns where a stiffer film would lift or crease. The gloss surface catches light the way a clearcoat does, so once the flames are down and squeegeed flat, they blend into the surrounding paint instead of sitting on top of it. The print is made with fade-resistant inks intended for outdoor exposure, and the gloss finish helps protect the ink layer from sunlight, road grime and routine washing. For riders who prefer a flatter, painted-on look, the same flame artwork is also available in our matte finish.

Sizing the Set: 12 to 48 Inch Widths

Choose your width based on the panel you are covering, not the whole bike. A 12 or 18 inch set suits a helmet, a small tank side or a rear fender. The 24 and 30 inch options are the most common for standard tank and side-panel layouts. The 36, 42 and 48 inch widths are made for long touring tanks, full fairings, saddlebags or trailer sides. Measure the flat area you want the flames to span, then pick the width that fits inside it with a little room to spare at the edges. If you are layering flames over an existing stripe or graphic, measure that element first so the new set overlaps it cleanly rather than fighting it.

Application and Care on the Road

Apply to a clean, wax-free surface at room temperature using the dry method for simple panels or a light soap-and-water slip solution for tight curves. Masking tape lets you position both flames and step back to check symmetry before you commit. Work from the center of each flame outward with a squeegee to push air to the edges, and let the set sit 24 to 48 hours before riding in rain or washing. After that, care is simple: hand wash with mild soap, skip the pressure washer at close range, and avoid parking the abrasive brush of a drive-through wash directly against the graphics. Treated this way, the flames stay looking like part of the paint.

Frequently asked questions

Will these flame decals work on a curved gas tank?

Yes. The set is printed on cast vinyl, which is the conformable option in our lineup. It stretches around tank edges and fairing contours. For tight curves, use a soap-and-water slip solution and work the film down from the center with a squeegee.

How do I pick the right width?

Measure the flat area of the panel you want to cover and choose a width that fits inside it with a little margin. A 12-18 inch set suits helmets and small panels, 24-30 inches fits most tank layouts, and 36-48 inches is for touring tanks, fairings and saddlebags.

Can I arrange the flames differently instead of using the pair as-is?

Yes. The individual flame tips can be trimmed apart and repositioned to build your own layout. Many riders apply the main pair first, then add or remove tips to shape the design around stripes, badges or panel lines.
