My bike is all black with a red FIREBLADE decal and I want to put some belly pan decals on to make it look sportier lol? Has any one bought from this ebay site and can recommend? alternatively any suggestions on what stickers to use and where to get them from. I'm concerned about purchasing rubbish and making a mess of my bike? Belly pan fairing sponsor sticker for cbr vfr fireblade | eBay
IMO It's a thin line between making the bike look good and gash. And I've seen some of both counts Perhaps before you do get them try printing some off on paper and offering them up against the bike? Look forward to the pics very soon?
You get basically 3 types of vinyl in reality Cast - the most conformable, generally thinner to wrap around panels/vehicles etc with no memory and lasts about 7-10yr depending which manufacturer Polymeric - thicker than cast (just about) and still very good quality, generally between 5-10yr life spans and still good for some tight contours and has very little memory or shrinkage Monomeric - cheapest of the bunch, normally lasts anywhere from 6mnth - 4 years, still more than suitable for bike decals of the nature your looking at as this works fine on flat smooth surfaces, it does still have some memory so tighter corners etc you may find it wants to spring back after a while or may shrink ever so slightly (1mm or so) depending on the grade (longer lasting is higher grade ) Looking at what that guy is offering it'll probably be a polymeric and as he's not printing them there's nothing to discolour as its white vinyl. Can't see you going wrong really For the record my old R1 track bike was decked out in a mixture of monomeric 4yr and polymeric stuff (check my gallery) They werent clear coated on or anything and they lasted fine.
