Default Graphic Kits - Thoughts?

Anyone applying graphic kits to their bikes? Found some very cool ones online which look almost like a custom paint job and a heck of a lot cheaper.

I've put these kind of things on my trucks before, but not on my machine. My stripes & graphics were hand painted on.

the hard part is most bikes come with pin stripes of some kind and graphics with pin stripes generally don't work out. it makes it more obvious.

Last week I had them form auto trim design. If you don't want your bike painted it is great. Mine is flame graphic kit 3. I think you're looking at the same.

You're right. The one on the tourpak is originally for tank. I didn't want to use it tere because of pin stripe

What color is the kit you used? Looks good. Was it hard to apply?

You do know that if your paint theme is stock that most of the graffic design is a sticker with clear over the top you can feel the hump along the edge on most bikes. I have been toying with the idea of a complete cover, have seen it done on cars befor. I think the angles would give you the most trouble. But it would be nice to buy a kit in a box that can be removed and changed at will.

The code of the kit is ATD-HRLYTOURGRPH23 which is dark brushed metal with bright orange pins. I wasn't a real fan of flames and I didn't want to pay 1500USD to painter for a thing that I wasn't sure about. It's applied by a pro but as far as I can see it's hard to match the angles of the stickers both sides. Mine has a few differences both sides but I don't have any problems with it.
