1 thing though....how do you get the tank shroud plastic off? You evidently put the graphics on with the plastics already on the bike. You would have to peel it back or "cut" a hole yourself to get to the screw since you didnt cut a hole in the graphics for the screw like your sketches show before you could get it off.

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

Good catch, was waiting on someone to catch that. I initally planned on digi urban camo but last minute I decided to go a different route so I re-did my Photoshop as well as rotate the side plastics to be level (logo-wise) and flip the tail decal 180 degrees. I just simply forgot to select the holes when I was in Photoshop and didn't realize it till I was apply. Since the pictures, I've cut the hole with a razor as well as added a black billet kick starter.

These were just a trial though, mainly to see how well they lined up with the plastics, so they need adjusting as well before round #2.

Not sure what he used but this is the one I have. Ive got this on my current bike and also my previous one. No issues and its cheap. Its the only thing on my bike that didnt come from 50Stunt pretty much only because he didnt carry it.

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

I almost went with that one since it was stock-looking, but chose this one. Works perfect and looks identical to the Faster-mini's one they carry....for alot more.

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

Few more to look at. Hard to find something that not only looks good, but will actually look good printed and on the fiddy!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

I had several different patterns of carbon fiber too, forgot to save those. If I could get the scaling right on the pattern, I think they'd be cool. It's not the typical crappy CF print you normally see and you can spot a mile away. I think this could actually pass as real CF unless you got within inches of it.

Is there any chance you could post a picture of the scales and have them be black with a red outline

And one of black scales with a green outline?
if so that would be awesome

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

Talked to my hook up... They don't print or anything like that for a living, it's a HUGE company that owns the printer... You probably drink their soft drinks every day but for pass production, I don't think they'll swing that...even with making money back on printing.... I know that'd be the cheapest way to do it, but if there's a demand for them I can contact local places that will print them for me but I have no clue on cost... Just let me know if I need to contact them.

I know how much pre-printed graphics sell for here and there, but since these are more "custom" since I can sorta tailor them to individual needs and wants and color combos, what would be a price ya'll are willing to pay or were thinking they're worth??

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

I don't know what I'd charge, it'd all depends what a company would charge me to get them printed. It may not even be worth it.... Only good part is if they were the same price as others you can buy "off the shelf", at least you'd have options and I can change stuff to the individual's liking... A true "custom"

You can find graphics cheaper than $70 for sure. The one thing I absoluted hate about the one set I bought is how thick they are. I know people that ride these things in the dirt would want them to take a beating....but they were a SOB to install and didn't like to contour too well (like front and rear side panels). The ones I made, were 10x easier to install.

Re: Opinions on my custom graphics?

The ones I printed aren't thick, but they contour hella lot better than the thick ones I initally bought though. They don't feel like they'll peel up like the thick ones did. They're on par with average vinyl decals and they vinyl is actually made to "wrap" the plastics and contours which I may try next time.

The ones I have held up playing in the yard with no issues. Cement will be it's next test.
