Decal colour

saxnbass · November 24th, 2011, 08:12 PM

So I'm looking at getting this decal in a reflective colour; red, white, or maybe black:

I'm doing reflective for the added visibility at night, and I quite like the look of this design. It's nice looking, simple and not overly flashy.

(Sorry for my horrid photoshopping skills)

What do you guys think?

Do you plan on powder coating wheels later? If not, I'd go with the white. I love black with bronze wheels and think it would look good with those decals in bronze.

Cazper · November 25th, 2011, 12:54 PM

The design is not my taste... but for me I would go with the silver because the Kawasaki and Ninja decals are silver... seems it would go better that way, unless as mentioned you are trying to switch the color scheme, in which case I would switch the colors of the Kawasaki and Ninja decals... should all match

saxnbass · November 25th, 2011, 02:07 PM

So I played around with it some more today and really like the way it looks in red if I do the text in red too and such.

I think because I didn't do the Kawasaki and Ninja in red in the first draft of the pic, the red looked really off.

Get rid of the red windscreen and make the rest of the red on the bike darker. Then it will look damn sexy

saxnbass · November 25th, 2011, 02:50 PM

Darkened up the red some, and put the ZX-2R decals on the back.

Stock windscreen:

Black / dark smoke windscreen:

Red windscreen:

Jiggles · November 25th, 2011, 03:00 PM

Lol that red windscreen looks awful.

See the color of the brake reflector on the back of the bike? I think if you made it that color it would look really good.

ForceofWill · November 27th, 2011, 12:06 AM

Agreed, don't like the colored windscreen and darken it up just a bit more. I also think it would look much cleaner if you debadged the Kawasaki and Ninja stickers instead of making them red.

The Kawasaki can not be unstickered. It can only be stickered over since it is under the clearcoat!

And also, as a side note; Tapeworks is located here in Raleigh, the guy is very cool, and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. I bought my vinyl from him (just bulk vinyl, he didn't have any designs or anything for the Ninja 250 when I went), and it's great!

saxnbass · November 27th, 2011, 10:30 AM

I'm kinda indifferent about the de-badged. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look great either.

Jiggles · November 27th, 2011, 09:14 PM

Darker!!!

saxnbass · November 27th, 2011, 09:41 PM

You're not happy until it's all stealth black, are you? :P

Jiggles · November 27th, 2011, 09:44 PM

I would do it myself but all I have is MS paint and that would take too long. Make it the same color as the tail light reflector then it will look sick

saxnbass · November 27th, 2011, 10:13 PM

I think it's horrid looking that dark, so I won't be doing that for sure. But so you can see it, here you go.

Jiggles · November 27th, 2011, 10:26 PM

I like it

Black on black. Safety be damned!

saxnbass · December 2nd, 2011, 06:27 PM

Got it in red and installed.

Night shot:

Got my ZX-2R today from Tri as well and that's installed. Gonna put on the tank pad tomorrow and take some pics with the ZX on the back

leed · December 2nd, 2011, 07:04 PM

That's a mean looking bike.

saxnbass · December 2nd, 2011, 07:20 PM

You can see more pics in my bike's thread. I'll post some more tomorrow when I get the tankpad on and it's light. I got the ZX-2R installed on the back, but it was dark by the time I could get pics, so decided to wait until tomorrow to snap some more pics.

That looks incredibly sexy.

For the night shot: are the decals powered, or are they simply reflecting your flash?
