Where to buy graphics kits?

[Disciple]

Hello all, my wonderful wife got me some new black plastics for my 98 kx250, but for the life of me I can't seem to find any graphics kits aside from the generic retro style ones. Is there any good websites you can recommend for some kits?

Thanks

problem is most companies have stopped making kits for these models, try ceet, they do some older stuff

[vifferman]

Try http://www.tapeworks.com/

There is a guy on Trademe under the name of SHAVO that is a graphic designer selling various graphic kits. I think he also cretaes them to order. If you search for Kawasaki Vinyl Sticker you should be able to contact him to create a custom sticker.

Looks like he is from Tauranga. Anyone over that way come across him ?

Just make sure that where-ever you get stickers from, that they have the right grade of adhesive. Standard hi-performance vinyls (such as what you would see on painted surfaces) won't stick effectively on some plastics

Whats the adhesive stuff to ask for MSTRS?

You in this line of business?

[MSTRS]

Yea, I do cut decals etc. Can't do the fancy print effects tho.
As far as adhesive goes - there is a grade of vinyl/adhesive specially made to stick to 'oily' plastics such as some fuel tanks, wheelie bins etc. The decal maker would be best to have the tank/whatever so that they can check what works best.

I have tried ceet and tapeworks and have nothing. I have also tried some local guys online such as dirtbike.co.nz and superior motorcycle. I pm'd DingDong and he is a custom guy needing pics and dimensions. I can work with him more to find out how to take dimensions etc and what he needs, but that will take some time. I Found the guy on trademe, and will try to find out from him as well about the dimensions. Is it just overall width and height of the shrouds? Thats all I really need is the radiator decals. I can put little logos on the rest easy enough I suppose. Thanks again for the response :) I appreciate it.

I'm about to start selling designs through a friend of mine.. a little way off though sorry :(

[Disciple]

Anyone else have any ideas? I have exhausted all avenues I know of. Even Superior motorcycle the supposed dealer of Kawasaki couldn't really help me. Is there maybe newer graphics I can go with say the 01 or 03 model KX250? Or is the shroud dimensions way off? I just want to make my bike look nice again :(

There is always stuff on Ebay. I found kits for my 96 RM on there.

Hey! Ain't you gonna post up any of your good work and show the kb world?

[crazyxr250rider]

google some pictures of kx250's just to check but i think they are the same from 97-01

[Disciple]

Will put up some pics. Need to get some scuff stop to cover the graphics though. Never put it on before so any tips on getting that stuff on properly to keep my grahics safe is well received :)

I went through the exercise of planning the repaint of my bike ...
- crazefox would paint it + 1 coat clear
- my signwriter mate would make the graphics from a picture off the web
- signwriter applies them (that's what they do all day)
- crazefox then does 1 or more coats of clear over the whole lot

= perfect new looking job. Haven't done it yet because of money being spent on tyres and mechanicals but the plan is a good one and I trust all the players to deliver a gret job. Oh and the graphics from the signwriter cost way LESS than the real ones from the franchise dealer

Yeah I got Bangbug to do my graphics. Damn nice job on em. But I do need to apply a layer of scuff stop to keep them from peeling off. Can't appl;y paint to my bike or a clear coat. Won't stick or would cost the earth painting plastics. A layer of scuff stop should do the trick, just getting it right is maybe a bit beyond me.
