My decal project!
So I've photoshopped (with my limited skills) how I plan on making custom decals on my ninjette.. What do you guys think? Too much? Too little? Clean yet aggressive?
Oh I'm also getting leo vince exhaust and 140/70 bt003rs tires soon! |

I like it all except the monster logo, then again I don't like it even on the Monster edition, so take that for what it's worth.

rim stripe and green inner part of the rotors will give it a nice balance.

I didn't really like your photoshop design. I do like how it looks now
I believe you could make it really cool with some decals, but don't exagerate, simplicity makes perfection Good thing you noticed the nail

I like the bike now as far as vinyl. Add more green with rearsets, levers, etc. Maybe a green ZX-2R sticker for tail. Definitely leave that monster decal off. Are they paying you? Just say no to free advertising.

If you like Monster, or even the look of the 'M', I saw put it on. Everyone always gets so high and mighty about not providing free-advertising. If you like the product or even like the symbol, I don't see the problem.

Without them, the seat would be seem to be a bit much. Besides, that's the part that screams "well made custom!" more than anything else and is enough to leave out any extraneous Monster logos and other random green bits (keeps things tasteful and everything else minimal). Also, there's very little other opportunity to get green down low other than wheel stripes, which wouldn't be enough to balance the rest of the green, IMO.
If I had to tone it down, I'd go for green wheel lips with black forks but that's only because I know how hard it is to clean the black grime from my powder-coated blue rims. Quote:
