Yes, the foreground one is a '97, previously Ernies and originally imported by @Faghetaboutit way back in 2010 from memory. I coveted it for many years and imported the background one as a complete bike from the original owner in Illinois USA back in 2020 during Covid time. It is a 17" and '98 model year. Not really big enough to be a rider for me, but ticked the boxes colour wise! The '97 is a matt finish and the '98 is a gloss. Both beautiful and both original paint. The '98 was raced and had the battle scars to show for it. The '97 had led a much more pampered life and is in exceptional condition.
I don't recall a single flame job Hot or Ku that followed an exact pattern or colour match so I think you have artistic licence to do what you like if you go with this style. The Stars n Bars is a different story though!
