Ok so i know its a hssle buying a graphic kit for ya bike.. and then when ya get it and install it your bike becomes one huge billboard for a bunch of products that your not getting paid to advertise.
I have been sitting around for like a week looking at graphics for my 97 rm 125 when i thought about alternatives
Tonight in the local craft store I came across some thick vinyl adhesive sticker in 12 X 12 sheets.. Now about a year ago i installed some graphics on my car and I had a backing sheet for the graphics that represented the overall pattern. Primarily it was a skull in a wild tribal design... Using some basic ability I did the following
I overlayed my pattern on the vinyl sheet and traced out my design, then carefully using a razor i took my time and cut very even lines following the pattern in the vinyl sheets... I then matcxhed the pattern to the plastic roughly and cut sections out, when i was done I sprayed the plastic area i was applying to with water, i made sure it was clean before hand.. i applied graphics , trimming and altering slightly as i went along.
When i was done this is what I had...
Grand total 7 bucks
The white stuff is what im referencing too
The skull decals cost me an additional 6 bucks at my local autozone/pepboys type store
hope this helps someone, i know its diffeerent but just think about the possibilities using multi colored vinyl...
Personally I think if you devote about 20 bucks you can have something so amazing that it would blow away manufactured graphics... an option is too add a clear overlay layer to protect it all..
