Thanks for the feedback
cleaning 20mins tops if you're covered in tar
Planning alignment, no time at all going from what you told me
application, squeegeing, 2mins per decal
time for 1 beer
removal of application paper 1 min per decal

Sounds like a wee job to me.

This thread reminds me of a couple of years back I decided to sign write a large YAMAHA across the front of our covered MX trailer...One whole day making up pattern, masking , painting...God I was proud!

Year later son changed to SUZUKI, when to graphics shop, half an hour and $25 flash new sign writing.......Why did I waste a whole day last year? Probably was way cheaper too!

Not allways cheaper DIY

Say's the expert!. Always is quick and easy when you know what you're doing. I'm sure I'll be right though, just take 10 times as long as you.

I have received my stickers from Zooter, they look just like I asked.

Thanks

I have put them on now, they look very good. I had no problems, only thing was that the decal tended to want to stick to the backing paper, easily solved with the sharp small bladed knife.

It's a very exclusive team. Do you have pie?

Nice one guys, thanks for the feedback, feel free to post some pics of your handiwork.

Here are some pics of the end result.

Very easy to apply, the vinyl is very glossy and looks great.

Digging this up to steal some decals, looking at a large kawasaki i.e 30cm large O_O - some Kras ones, and some ninja ones, if you dont have the pictures/tiff maps I have some that will help...

Do you do chrome as well?...

**zooter** · 13th May 2005, 20:26

John, I've Pmed you my email so bring on the Kras tiffs if they aren't too big for dialup downloading. I've got ninjas for Africa so don't send those.
I can do "chrome" vinyl on a special order but don't recommend it as it is not rated for outdoor application. Of course some people ignore this and that is why you see it on the occasional commercial vehicle. Silver metallic looks pretty flash, I'd be going with that if it were my bike.

Can I join? I'm getting a new fibreglass fairing, nice blank canvas for some vinlys

I sent some 30cm Kawasaki's to Hoon, also some freebee Ninjas by way of apology for taking a bit long to sort his Kawasakis. I never photographed the ninjas but hopefully he might have got around to sticking them somewhere by now and could post them up here for all to see.
