Finally got my stripes on. Man decals are a friggin pain to do. Some minor mistakes but you can't tell unless you look real closely. If you've never installed decals before I recommned getting someone who has. Especially if you have molding and cutting to do.

Haven't put the stripe for the front fender on yet. A freind is comng over next week to help with that. But I actually like the look of it without it.

Jamiemac's 1098 inspired me to do the stripes.

I love the look of those stripes and agree that it still looks good without the stripe on the fender. Great job!

The secret to doing big decals is to break out that old hair dryer and some windex to "float" them on with.

Yeah but it's still a pain making clean cuts and molding around some angles.

The biggest secret..."Patience"!


Oh and thanks for the replies everyone!

wow!!! that looks awesome. I bought decals to stripe my front fender but I couldn't get it on straight so I ended up ruining the decal. I wish I knew about the windex hair dryer technique

If you got to cutgrafix website they have a great how to on decals most noteably applying the front fender.

I didn't want to tackle it myself because of the curve of the fender so I called a friend who has done it before. I may leave it off though as I like this look so far.

Looks Pimp! I like the red/white/green, I have to look twice to notice the green. Great job.

You did a fine job. It looks good as is, you may be right rethinking the stripe on the front fender.

 

[HJJ]

Very nice. I really like the idea. Pls make sure to post pics when you're done with the fender.

I took your idea and use them as and inspiration for my racing bike:

My race bike design was inspired by the Desmodici RR.... !

All the yellow except the front fender is decal....

How's that Quat D working out for you?
What does a decal like that run?

The QDs work very well! No race ECU but
I do have a PCIII with a Kyle map.

The decals (stripes and number plates) cost around $60.

Did you paint your race bodywork or just apply the decals?

Where could I order decals like that?

Beauwulf,
Bike is beautiful! What tires / size are you running?

 

[DU-CAT-I]

Nice job on both race bikes!

I did urathane "cloud white" with clearcoat and a pearl additive. The color doesn't match perfectly but when I find a used tank and paint it, that won't be an issue.

I got the decals from these guys on fleabay:
