Front decals or not? (no 56k)

[spicy]

if i even do it, it'd probably be vinyls cuz i don't want to re-paint my upper. it'd look much much better painted, and would be annoying to wash/wax/clean bugs off and crap like that, otherwise. anyways, from purely an aesthetic standpoint, what do you think? i'll worry about execution if/when i decide what to do...

pardon the shit quality. only have MSPaint to fool around with editing , and i got lazy with doing the flatter black ones, so there's only 1 example.


*top stripes*
*top and bottom stripes*
*flat black*
*no stripes*



*top stripes*
*top and bottom stripes*
*no stripes*



*top stripes*
*top and bottom stripes*
*no stripes*



So:
option 1) stripes only above the headlights
option 2) stripes both below and above the headlights
option 3) above and below but flat(ter) black
option 4) "Negative Ghost-Rider, the pattern is full" -- leave it as-is, bling is for posers




thanks,

i say you them on and if you dont like them...peel them off. that help?

ps - just putting "poll" in the title doesnt make it a poll haha

Top and bottom would be my call bud...you could use vinyl to see how you like it, then take the cowl off and bring it to an auto body shop for repaint.

top or top/bottom look good. I would say stay away from the flat black, it is harder to keep clean. ( bugs, etc )

*top stripes* reminds me of "The Count" on Sesame Street

*top stripes* reminds me of "The Count" on Sesame Street

thats why you get top and bottom

[Pittenger5]

top/bottom =D

Any way I can get it!


Oh wait, this isnt what this thread was about?

top and bottom. I would just go with vinyl, a lot cheaper than having it painted since it's not a huge area to do, and the upkeep on it wouldn't be too bad. I put wing shadow on my F4i with a vinyl sticker kit, had no problem at all washing it.

1st pic is how I bought the bike.
2nd pic is after I put the wing shadow on it, also used some of the left over vinyl sticker to put the "eyebrows" on the headlights... subtle touch, but if I think it looked pretty cool without screaming "LOOOOOSSSSEEEERRRRRR"

def do it, if u dont like em...take em off

[schleppy]

I dunno, it makes it look kind of CBRie. That's not a bad thing of course...

Just leave it be. Nice bike.

Is it a bad sign that I couldn't tell the difference between the pics the first 3 times through?

Above and below looks pretty cool.

don't put them on... it looks like a ghey mask- especially without any other accents on the body or anywhere else.

though if you're using vinyl might as well just try it out and see if you like it. If I had to pick something with the stripes, I'd say top only so it looks less "mask-like".

Ghey, Ghey, bad taste, ghey, and Who gives a f*ck

If your doing it right nobody is gonna see stripes
