Browsing around for graphics for the track hack I came across this.

Not bad for a sticker kit.
From http://www.tapeworks.com

[Gitzy]

Check out what they've done with the Carbon look stuff... Very impressive..

Bike frames/Wheels/Rotor Carriers... and more

[nick76]

Wasn't there a topic on that 3M carbon sheet/sticker stuff?
I think that was cheaper than this sheet,and on aus ebay???
That shit looked pretty good.
There was a you tube embedded clip with them doing up an new mini?

[nick76]

Some of those sticker kits look pretty good.

Heres the 3M stuff Gitzy.

[80s freak]

This is not the 3M Di-noc product. 3M has a textured finish this is smooth. I don't think the carbon weave looks as good as the 3M one either.

im sorry is it just me or dose that bike look just a bit gay as aids ......

[Lewis Moto]

Bit OTT but that's Americans for you. Used in a subtle manner they may be of interest to some.
That pic has been taken with fill flash to set them off as they are reflective.
Besides Ozzy everything is subjective .......ppptshhhh opening a can of worms.
Street fighters, Harley customisers, or every owner of any motorcycle has made modifications that appeases their own aesthetic bent.
"Gaids" ---- I really dislike the way a bunch of "individuals" hack and criticise others for not conforming to an unconventional style. "Do what you wanna do. Be what you wanna be YEAH"
My 2c and observations. Possibly lead to another thread but.....lets roll :)

[rod185651]

Looks alright to me.

But I was a fan of the sandman panel van also.

yes all good pionts mate very true and i must say i have the same piont of view but my objection isnt the flames(that could work on some bikes)
its that it is fast becomeing that things like sticking some flames on what looks like close to stock bike would make it tuff.....
if i turned up at the speed shop i hang at when i was in my teens on that as it is, after they stoped giggling would ask me if i could back it up and i think that is the piont and why it is so hard just 2 say what is a streetfighter is...
and yes this is only my piont of veiw but to me streetfighter isnt about style(as u said each to their own) but its about the atitude..
to me that bike looks like a bloke with some rub on tatts outside the pub talking big in frount of his mates .
this rant isnt at u Aido mate ive just been thinking for a while what is the atitude that makes up streetfighters and how we can happy have such dif bikes and love it(eg z 650 owned from new with home made and tuned injecton 2 sharky's god know what 2 call it custom, land speed record holder , stocky's insane hp 165 kg wet k 1000 the list goes on over the yrs we have had all the diff types of bike styles tho here) and i belive maybe its that all of them can back up the atiatude in one way or the other and are some of the most interesting people i have spent time with.....
rant over lol sorry as is looks gay

[sharky]

Oh luv it stick on flames ffs....and fake carbon fibre sticky sheet....they'll be selling that shit in Bunnings next....

[TurboKat]

Yeah, what sort of handbag puts stick on flames on their bike? http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1289269130.gif

Oh, wait...

Ozzy - on the same page. Was merely pointing out that;
1. They are available and the bike wasnt meant to be the subject but the product itself
2. Some people may be interested in them - on a toned down variation hopefully

Some of the other sticker kits have been put to good use if you view the readers rides section. Just putting it out there.

Afterall not everyone can afford real carbon fibre or custom airbrushed paintwork to achieve the result they want.

What does someone putting a sticker kit on their fully faired bike got to do with the Streetfighter Scene?
I would like to know what half of you actually think the street fighter scene is here in Australia?
What would the old couriers in England who first started the Streetfighter scene over there think about guys who build fighters in their shed but never actually ride them? Or guys who build fighters and transport them every where on the back of a ute? Each to their own I say. Wasn't the original streetfighter born in the necessity for a rider to keep his / her bike on the road without having to replace expensive parts such as fairings? I love the streettfighter scene down here as I have met heaps of like minded bike enthuasists and I try to respect everyone's build ranging from the bare mimium modification to the extreme. I think flaming everything that doesn't suite your style is GAY, has Gaids, and is more camp than a row of tents. OK that's my point of view.
I'm Looking forward to this week-end going for a ride with mates, checking out some decent fighters and catching up with some decent guys from the Aussie Street Fighter Scene. Hope you all get the chance to do the same.

[Chase]

I'm hearing you Rod.. Would be a real shame if the "streetfighter scene" was couch cowboys making judgements on what is, or is not, the approved and "non gay" additions to your bike.

For my 2c.. there is no scene, it's just blokes who share a common passion, ideas and rides. Thinking you are, or wanting to be, in a "scene" is GAY and flies in the face of the Streetfighter concept - kinda like screaming out " I want to be different just like everyone else".

It's your bike. [V]

....rant over...

lol wow touchy subject haha.

who gives a fuck?

as long as you build a bike then ride the fucking thing hard, your ok in my books, unless you are actually gay, then you can get fucked with a spiked baseball bat.

cheers.joe.

[JackTar]

I think you should all stop being such a bunch of bitches and come suck mummies cock.

[latheboy]

You've all got gaids.....

The stickers look shit and if you had them on your bike the first thing id say is "nice flames dickhead"... If you didn't say "get fucked i like them", well you've got the gaids.

Build what you want how you want and fuck everyone else, or just do what you think will make you cool/a hard cunt on a fighter.

You fucking know it you filthy little whore.

[Lewis Moto]

Streetfighters = Ratrods
Same argument.
I look through alot of motorcycle and vehicle DIY forums to see how others do things and achieve good or bad results.
Just put this sticker kit up as some will like its effect and others wont.
I'll just follow the sheep and agree with the "Hardcore" that the German kicked in the arse looks "Great!" from now on.

Each to their own.

[RevHead]

build to your plans no other cunt can design your bike,,its about you if u like sticker kick on,thanks for the thread,most guys agree paint is the way,,fuck it who cares ,im off to cooma for a ride with like minded mad cunts hoofuckinray

[The crow]

some of those kits wernt all that bad and some completly gay i had a great laugh with the old man about them. ive been bought up old school and flames should be painted on not stuck on but as every one has said each to there own its a shame though that a dyeing art such as pinstriping and airprushing is being replaced by stickers

Just my 2c worth just have fun and at least make sure u stamd up for ur bikes honour as it cant

[camlark]

but what if you do like the kicked in the arse german look??

Then fucken do it!!!!!

I don't dislike it, but personally that form of rear end styling isn't my cup of tea. In saying that I don't immediately loathe the Krauts bikes with that form of rear end, I just wouldn't do it to mine.

Streetfighting is about individualisation. What works for your individual taste probably won't work for others. That's fine, because that is what makes our bikes unique.

We do it because we don't want to ride an arsehole and we want to be different to everything else out there, so if you like that look do it to your bike. Just don't expect everyone else to like it. It is your ride after all..

[latheboy]

Streetfighting is about individualisation. Just like every other streetfighter builder:D

[Gitzy]

Def agree with alot you all have said..

Your bike do what you want..

I love Chase's bike, think its 1 million percent awesomeness, the man won the Best Streetfighter trophy..

I sat on it looked at him and said, I'd change this, this, this, and that..

But quess what, its all Chase's and he likes it..

F800R apparently.

[revken]

you can do some seriously dodgy budget streetfighter graphics with a sheet of decal vinyl. I did the cow patch graphics last year, which I then got bored with and removed. I've got something else cooking up now, as well as the modified gsxr 750 light almost ready to fit. Streetfighters are about individuality, not some out of the box just add water instant hot rod thing. If you want a schicko paint job, great. but if you're married and have no money, doing cheap stuff is cool too. Just don't try to compare the two, because they are two different ends of the spectrum.
