Need help with New Decals. - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I am having a hard time choosing new decals, I have looked all over the place for custom decals that would look good on our bikes and have found a few but nothing stands out to me. I saw a picture of the Race Ready Yamaha from the Indy MotoGP and I have always been a big fan of the Racing decals that alot of the bikes use. Now my question is do you think it would be a good idea to copy the Indy MotoGP Yamaha? Keep in mind I will be doing the theme on a 2009 Raven, or if you have any other ideas please let me know. Here is the bike I am refering to.

Also can anyone make out all the decals? I am having a hard time seeing all the decals. I can get most of them but need help with the rest.

Put simply...No

Tell me why not? There are many bikes out there that replicate many race inspired Superbikes. Honda makes a Repsol don't they? If you have the parts that you are displying on your bike then there is nothing wrong with doing it, I am not saying it has to be exactly the same but something similar doesn't hurt.

check http://www.immortalgraphix.com/index...TS&Category=54 for some cool decals. I've been looking, just haven't decided yet.

If you actually have the parts on your bike, then displaying the manufacturer is cool if thats what you want. I also like the look of race bikes with all the logos, etc.

If you just put random manufacturer's logos on without actually having those parts then that's a big poser no no

If you look at it this way our bikes come with Dunlop tires, most have some sort of GYTR product, Sunoco is just gas,we have Brembo brakes,AMA is just a racing series,alot of the decals used are just basic decals. But I agree if you don't have the product on your bike then don't use the decals..

Maybe he wasn't necessarily talking about all the manufacturer decals. I like just the graphics without the sticks.
