"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

what do you have in mind?

well you didn't say what you wanted, i figured you wanted some thing edgy... :D

decals are a hard issue.. getting really good ones that is.

that first one is a 1920s era ducati logo.  I love that, I had it on my truck.

many of the vinyl type are crap.  nate can explain why.  the laminated type are usually much superior for painting and clearcoating.

I hate vinyl...actually I hate decals.

I usually make a mask and spray logos.

A good deal can be viewed two ways.

One would be a low price, while the other would be a good value.

What are you looking for? There are lots of shops that will do it for cheap. You often get what you pay for.

I just purchased some of the 80's logos in refelective yellow from www.decal-orations.com.  I got two in the same size that's currently on the tank, and 4 more smaller ones so I can deck out my helmets.  Order went through on 4/24... still don't have my damn stickers... so pissed.  These things better be solid gold.
May your head gasket develop premature failure, your carb get gummed up, and your side stand fall short.
