Default Anybody use graphic kits?

Just wondering if anyone has used graphic kits on their touring bikes - seen one with this pattern and thought it was custom paint until the customer told me otherwise. Very reasonably priced also.

Not sure about decals,the sun has a tendency to wreak havoc on them,I think it looks cheap personally.I just like shiney painted stuff!

Default Graphics kits

I have to disagree with the previous post. If the graphics are made out of good vinyl they will last for years without any problem. Plus they are easy to remove and inexpensive enough that you can change them easily. I own a Graphics bussiness and have custom graphics on my bike and gets lots of complements on them.

Paint it. I did graphics and immediately removed them and went with paint. Pictures on right are paint.. Just my opinion..

I used graphic decals out of necessity . Dumped the bike in 2006 and had to redo it did have the cash to redo a complete paint job then. So decals for 30 $ and a few coats of varnish did a nice job. i am however going to have the bike painted ina few weeks .The graphics look nice right now on my bike almost can't tell they are not painted. But i want something personal.

have a look for yourself
