Bike Graphics

Post by SteveW »

I fancy some subtle visual embellishment to my bike, all in the best possible taste you understand.
Can anyone recommend anyone for this......Lancashire/Manchester area?
I'd want the graphics applied rather than just supplied, I know my limits :D

Is this for your Ducati?

I was thinking mine in plain white looks a bit dull ;)

Crispy Designs is your man. On google and eBay. Top bloke and it's best to email him, via his website. Had my old KTM990 done with a Respol graphic kit. A bit of patience and a hair dryer is all you need. Top quality too

No, I'd want the graphics applied, its many years since I handled a hair dryer!
Yes Dave it's for my Ducati, mine's white. I saw one in Ducati Manchester with some subtle Green, White and red pin stripe lines on the fairing and tank. I think the White bike is a good platform for a bit of visual bling.

I'd like the graphics professionally applied, rather than me fook-balling about, I've applied some cheap eBay graphics to the odd off-road bike, I did okay as long as you don't look too close.

Look up your local vehicle wrapping company.
You may have some joy in getting it done, although a few won't touch motorbikes.
The designer will work with to get the design you want.
Not cheap mind heard a rediculously over priced quote of £500

Some vehicle wrapping may let you pay one of the lads to do the job for you in his own time.

So possibly get graphics on line the pay an employee form wrap company to do job for you..

I do my own on my bikes as I have a vinyl plotter / cutter so design my own graphics and apply my own. the key to graphics if doing your own is soapy water not loads just a few squires out a spare bottle that way they don't stick straight away and you can manipulate them and move them freely on the soapy water before the adhesive applys properly meaning no sticky bits you have to peel of trying not to stretch it out or destroy the decal ..just simply glide it over to wear you want it to be and squeegie it out job done .
