[Thumpin440ex]

Now I am not a huge fan of stickers or graphics. But I have been unable to find any thing in clear to keep my plastics from getting fubar'd. I like to ride hard, but am kinda anal about keeping my chit nice... What graphics you guys think would look the best on my bike... Seriously now.. Thanks..

Current set up..

i would have to dissagree i put graphics on 2 400 ex before and the directions just told me to clean vary well and whip with rubbing alcohol first. and if u did scrach it the thing would be all rough looking i would think. plus i never heard about it being done to a care why a atv?

[Thumpin440ex]

Not sure what atv graphics state, but I have helped do a few cars, trucks( with advertising graphics).. All we did was make sure that the surface was clean spray them and squeegi them out.. At any rate I just got a mess back from them, they can not do it :(.. So I am going to have and cover them up, to keep them nice...:(

All I ever heard was to spray a fine mist of water on the back to line them up and then take one of those cards used for taking bubbles out of graphics and squeeze the water out.

If you go and scratch up the plastic thats gonna create air pockets and thats no good.

thats what i thought good to see i am not going crazy

yeah don't scratch up those plastics. the new thick vinyl decals stick very well, i've used them on my dirt bikes and they hold up great. I have textured ones on there right now and i love them.

the water is a questionable method in my opinion. keep in mind water will work against your adhesion, you can easily work the air bubbles out with a credit card just make sure you put the sticker on where u want it cuz it ain't gonna move.

[Thumpin440ex]

Ok so these things are STICKERS, not a DECAL.. I would understand that then about the water.. I thought they were decal's... Either way can not come up with clear ones...

id just leave it bare..i cant imagine that carbon fiber look showing many scratches from a distance? not a fan of any graphics other than stock really i think they look the best..bike looks nice tho!

[MtnEX]

If you find a source of clear... let me know.

I know they can make them...

But also be aware it will be really hard to apply them and the results be perfectly clear.

I have done some decals with clear before, and if you touch the back side you are screwed... and in some cases you also have to try to dry apply to avoid issue.


Myself, I like both choices you have there from AMR.
Either would look good on those plastics of you are into that.

check out BRMoffroad.com they should have something I know they make a carbon fiber look background so you could slap that over your plastic to save it.

That would be cool... I'd like to see it done too.

Never seen wraps done before.
