    I too struggle with flexibility. A spinal fusion adds to the issue. I too refuse to cave. I have always been strong and agile but I sure feel it getting on and off of my Valkyrie... especially if the drivers seat backrest is on. Hey, were still doing it, darn it!

    I'm a bit younger than you folks but I hope I'm able to climb in without a step too. 2 spinal fusions have ruined my balance not to mention my flexibility. I just hope I get it done soon enough that I can still climb into it! Lol

    Like the flames! Just wondering if anyone has heard of using something like a plastic wrap in the design of the flames. It's like a stick on in the shape of the flames. Would be for people like me who've tried and not succeeded at doing flames. Can't get things symmetrical.

    I practiced laying out flames on things that are not cars! They always look rather juvenile! I just gave up.

    Vinyl "wraps" have become a real thing. All kinds of choices, and they seem pretty durable.

    I've heard to people clear coating vinyl wraps so the edges don't peel. Not sure of the durability though.
