Designing 426EX Decal

[bkelley]

Got bored and decided to throw together a quick design for a 426EX decal. Would like to get one made once I put a 426 kit into my bike. The red is just a place holder for my red plastics and the TRX would be in a metallic silver color on the actual thing. I'm thinking about adding something to go behind the text kinda like how it is on the stock decal. Just not sure how I want to do it.

Looking for some general input and I'd love it if anyone had some ideas for things to add/change.

i wouldnt put any stickers. when people with faster bikes (or they think so) come along say oh just got a pipe, it's stock then blow their doors out. this is aka sleeper muahahahaha :devil:

[Foxhound013]

Sweet decal man, Do you think you could make a design like that for my stock 400, (instead of saying 426 it would say 400) lol, just a thought. I agree with the honda wing type thing that would look sweet behind it.

[bkelley]

I was thinking about using the wing but I'll probably leave my stock wing on so I don't think I want to use that. I wanted to do something like the black behind the text like is on the stock one. The line things, don't know what to call them haha.

Foxhound, do you want it the exact same just with it saying 400EX?

Edit: Here's an updated version.

lookin good man.wish i had a 440 one

[bkelley]

I can make them say whatever if you guys really want one. Takes two seconds to change the text.

[mdt75crazy]

yes i really want one and would be willing to buy one

[omeeomy]

i wouldnt mind a 400 ex one either let us know how much bkelly

[lester985]

we are getting there what about more of mechancal wing it would look good with the lettering you have and can you make one for a 416ex thanks

[bkelley]

Mechanical wing? How so?

Once I get the design perfected I'll see how much it would cost to get some stickers made up. I'll let you guys know. Oh, and what size should I make them? The project in Photoshop is like 14.5" x 5" right now.

[lester985]

i dont know yet but i will get lookin on the net

[bkelley]

Here's another version. My dad didn't like how I cut off the Honda logo.

Oh yeah, I see what you're talking about. I've never noticed that before haha. That might look good, I'll give it a shot.

Edit: Here's another design.

I like the last one you posted, yeah if you could post up one that said 400 instead of 426 that'd be great. Looks good though.

[nastyrider17]

How much would you charge for those? I love the look of em.

[Foxhound013]

Could you make a copy of the right side for me two, thanks.

[Foxhound013]

Did you ever find out how much it would cost to have some made.

[bkelley]

School just started up so I have practically no extra time on my hands right now. I'll let you guys know what's up as soon as possible.

[Foxhound013]

K, thanks man

[bkelley]

I've got some free time these next few days so I'm gonna try and get the design finished up and get some quotes for prices.

I went and measured where I think the decal would go on my bike. I figure an 8.5" x 4" decal would probably be a good fit. Does anyone have an input on the size?

It would probably be placed more forward, but you get the idea.

[Foxhound013]

[BlasterEaten250]

It's held up great so far. Put about 50 hours on it since painting and it looks like it did day one.
