My loss your gain Cr125/250

[REDRIDER]

hey fullz, I made some graphics for my bike but the printer spat the dummy and left out big chunks of black which I wanted to match up with my seat, thus I dont want them....... would be perfect if you had a white kitted CR 125-250 or if your not fussy like me... Cheese your always lookin for a bargan mate

$40.00 if ya want em. 2 shrouds, rear guard, and front plate.
pickup would be easy for me north shore, auck

[telliman]

im keen to hook up and get some shrouds done, i'll drop you an email nxt week,team "no fat chicks racing"haha

[cheese]

LOL what are you trying to say!!

Not sure on the white... tempting though....

[honda_power]

Shit those are nice.

[camchain]

Very impressive work there red rider, you've got the stuff allright. I just bought some spare rad shrouds for my KTM, I want to have a go at doing my own design. I'm only comfortable in Photoshop though. Is easy enough to convert to Illustrator? How do you vector up those complicated random shapes with all those curves and angles - eg on your design in pic?

[FlangMasterJ]

They look good REDRIDER.

I wouldn't mind getting into that business myself. I'm a Natcol graduate but have been working in the digital print industry for the last five years.

Funny story. KTM releases a hard equipment catalogue every year. You can download these from their site. I downloaded the '06 pdf and was amazed to find that they hadn't converted all of their graphic kits to bitmap but had left them as high res vectors. Me being schooled in pdf manipulation was able to single out one of the kits. So I've got this mint as KTM FMF factory kit sitting on my computer.

So how much would it cost me to get a set printed?

[camchain]

I'd be keen on getting one for a template flangemaster or Red rider? A lot easier than trying to scan a curved rad cover - not to mention a front guard! Bloody NZ DIY attitude stuffing up your biz red rider!

yeah mate, trouble is everybody wants to do it, but to do it properly it costs alot of money, not point sellin graphcics that are gonna fall off or wear through in a month, which is what a lot of guys are doin.

I work in prepress have done for years, and found the same thing in some of the factory fx pdfs, seems crazy to put all that work in to let other people rip it....

the whole idea was to make it cheaper for custom stuff. I got sick of seeing monster energy on everything, got heaps of ideas but graphics for bikes are very particular and people like diff things so its hard to premake shit.
Same thing through CSC file supplied will cost you $500 PLUS.

you can leave it all in photoshop mate, just needs to be high res. I only use .ai cause I have heaps of "elements" laying round.

I did natcoll too, led to my current job. What course did you do?:)
Redrider, would you like some dr-z tank templates? I peeled the ratty tank graphics off mine when I got it to make my own, and never got around to it, they're just sitting on a piece of a4 atm, not gonna need em now. I did make up a die line in illustrator but the computer died and took it with it.:bash:

I work for a kid's book publishers :) Do a bit of everything, illustration/design/prepress. Must get pretty good hookups for printing stuff working there! I'd love to work somewhere with one of those big industrial paper cutters, chopped off a chunk of my thumb hand cutting mockups on friday, oww :Pokey:

[kezzafish]

I'm a offset press operator on an A2 Heidelberg. work for Geon in wellington who d'ya work for redrider? much work up there at the mo? there's a bit of talk about redundancies down here :weep:

Cool lookin graphics by the way. what stock (brand/material) do you print it on? is it self adhesive? how thick is it? do you laminate over the top of the printed image to stop ruboff?

Yoh, fellow geonite, I work for Geon Albany, (prepress) yeah its been a bit slow for a while but it has its crazy moments, ie the day before a long weekend.
Heard about a couple of redun.. in Aus but nothing here as far as I know. (like im in the loop)

Cheers on the graphics, not everybodies cup of tea but they are 1 of a kind. Was it you that was joking about "BottomDweller" ones?? anyway they are all printed on an convex vinyl and matching clear laminate, 13ml or 18ml stuff is made for motocross, tuff as nails.

Cheers Kezza
Darryl

[B0000M]

13ml or 18ml stuff


i see this same figure on your website- do you mean 1.3ml and 1.8ml? because 13 & 18 are fucken thick

that or its measured in a way that isnt clear to me and i look like a n00b.

id say you're getting my business on my next set of plastics

cheers B0000M look forward to it, yeah its a one of those weird US measurements but one that is used for most graphics ie factory FX, ONE etc.

20 mil = 20 thousandths of an inch = 0.020 inches. At least according to wiki.

13mil is sweet for most 18mil is slightly less conformable but harder wearing.
How bout this one, see attached, this is me being an idiot...

My best riding buddy works in pre press in the city geon branch. i'm in petone branch. Small world huh

oh cool. assuming yours is the SE (white) i have a mate who'll buy your white plastics if you sell em when ya get blackies. there's an italian graphics (and plastics/accessories?) company called BURN, have seen awesome pics of my bike on the net with full white plastics and burn graphics. oooh if i didn't spend so much on keeping the damn thing running.

on the bourbon front i recon that JDs should give me a hand out for keeping them afloat during this economic slowdown. JDs sure have economically slowed me down.

ill second that not sure what ill do with the white one few scratchs on them now thinkin ill keep for the real bad rides where damage is expected. But thought with black tank silver and black seat it would look good with the rest done in black as well shame its not an 09 the the rims would be as well oh well next year maybe.

[REDRIDER]

haha you guys still yapping, no worries camchain go for it, Barty if you tell me you have permission from JD's,,, ill make you a one off race kit.

silver and black seat aye?... that'll look good. I'll look it up and see if i can find a pic. If barty has permission red rider then my mate'll probably go for one too... that'll make it a 2 off race design. His is '08 but standard blue. plastics are fucked and all the decals have come off. gets biffed on the rocks an average of 5 times per ride. Fuck he's fun to ride with. Black tanks are an ass to see how much gas you have left huh barty, mine's the same and my rims are kinda blacky, silvery, gravel rash coloured

sweet what sorta $$

[REDRIDER]

sweet what sorta $$

$159 barty, shrouds only, but you might want heavier laminate?? so ad $10.

[barty5]

$159 barty, shrouds only, but you might want heavier laminate?? so ad $10.

yeh heavier sound good as your in albany ill sort out new plastics and come and see you next week or so.

[REDRIDER]

so when I started this thread, I figured someone surely would want a set of $40 graphics but I stand corrected, anyhoo, rather that biffem I stuck them on a spare set of shrouds, would still be better on white plastics but hey, thought I would share...

hmm, they do look better than i expected on red....

i think the reason none of us took them was because we all have red plastics

[cheese]

Wow I didn't go for it cause I thought that the white would not look the best, but hey they look quite good.

Hey if you are interested, I've got some spares for a CR, I noticed your pipe is quite dented. I've got a factory one that looks like new.

[REDRIDER]

hmm, they do look better than i expected on red....

i think the reason none of us took them was because we all have red plastics

yeah no worries I was a bit undecided but may as well stick them on something, they always look better on a bike than a flat graphic, still think white or black plastics would be better, im makin some more so these can just be spares or something..

[REDRIDER]

Wow I didn't go for it cause I thought that the white would not look the best, but hey they look quite good.

thanks for the offer mate, will have to wait and see how the downsizing goes at work, will keep it in mind though.. cheers

[B0000M]

on that note, they go a SHITLOAD better with a fatty on them!

[REDRIDER]

better how B0000M.... more power?:shit: top or bottom? more snap or what.. enlighten me.

[noobi]

better how B0000M.... more power?:shit: top or bottom? more snap or what.. enlighten me.

bottom to mid is what the fatty is for
whats the REV do?

[cheese]

THe fatty is a worthy investment. But they are about $500. Give you more bottom and mid.

I jjust read recently that you have to regularly check the tension on you electronic power valve cable too. THey can go slack or snap.

[B0000M]

better how B0000M.... more power?:shit: top or bottom? more snap or what.. enlighten me.

shitloads more bottom, significant more mid, and a bit more top.

definately a worthwhile investment

depends on where you shop to what $$ youll pay

[B0000M]

i bought one recently from mr motorcycles / scott411 recently for a good price.

btw, im still highly reccommending mr motorcycles for any bits & pieces you need regardless of brand.
