Moral delemma (SP) yeah I know..
I need feedback on graphic stuff I do for dirtbikes, KB is full of opinionated brats so its a perfect place to get feedback. Im not "really" trying to spam everyone, but it could be seen that way.

What do ya reckon ,post away, give it a rest, who gives a shit....

ps i may ignore any or all suggestions made in this thread...LOL

Yep go for it, I'm sure most will support you. I've seen your work on 4strokes old crf and was impressed and I'm sure most will have good things to say. You also mentioned your regular job was a bit slow so push the bike stuff I say

Hey, you are advising riders as to where they can purchase a product or service that they previously might not know of. A product that is of benefit to bike riders.
Just the same as I do, Cave Weta, Scott411, Billaroo and numerous others with events, rides etc.

All we are doing is informing people of what is happening week to week.
How else do we find out where to get "stuff".

However if you were to start spaming with say...Hot deal.. special MX pants..run out special...half price etc then that would be different.

25th February 2009, 17:53

One thing you should be aware of if you're going to this on any scale/commercial basis is that manufacturers (in particular Yamaha & Honda) are seriously cracking down on unauthorised use of copyrighted logos.
This will quite likely cause problems with any other commercial logos you may use, so for your own protection (and in particular your bank accounts...) I'd keep clear of using anything like that.

Otherwise, good effort - you've obviously got some good skills there! :)

REDRIDER

25th February 2009, 18:08

Yeah I hear what your saying cs363, where possible I really try to stay away from unauthorised use of logos. The down side to that is people want the known brands not the "workshop racing" so at the end of the day it needs to be made clear that I am acting on behalf of a client who has sought prior authorisation and Im just the means to an end.
Not perfect but I here to give the people what they want....cheers

thanks for the suggestion 09 style cr could be a go, yeah I mean deegan, it was long day and a late night, ive designed some up for Jono and fmx Krazzy, just waiting for him to sort his shit.

Hahaha LOL, I designed and printed them, but yes that is there style busy as buggery, I put a kit on sat night, looks pretty sick, (personal opinion) though..

No KLX at all apart from the kiddies 110. Unless they have the same template as one of the KXF's.

What about 99 kx125, also some fit the kx250's?? I have a full set of graphics that I need to put on some new plastics if you want to use them to make a template. Also the new plastics I have say what years they cover and models...

On another note what is best to clean/prep new plastics and what is the best way to put them on???

thanks for the offer Littlejohn, im sorted for KX 125/250s, think im just missing the KLX's. Always prep new plastics with Thinners, it wont leave an oily residue and will get rid of the gloss on the new plastic, gives a better bonding surface.
I have used meths with good result BUT would recommend thinners available from supercheap. cheers mate
As for application, factory FX have a good video on how to install, cant beat watching someone do it...http://factoryeffex.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=63

24th March 2009, 19:53

Just had a read through the last few pages. Like those Moto mayhem ones Redrider. Maybe you could do some fancy number boards as well. Some of us quite like the factory graphics like on my 08 Ktm. But some rad number boards, swing arm and front guard stickers to enhance whats already there from factory might be a bit of a different idea! You might sell to people who wanna dress up their bikes or start racing and add numbers but not change the factory ones. Like an add on or dress up pack. Specially with Ktm guys as factory ones on the 08 and 09 models are quite good.

Just an idea or 2 mate??
