Hey if you want one side to say Termi, and one side to say "I have Termis because I have a big D!ck" we can do that too  [clap]

Trust me, I don't have too much money, being unemployed at the time being. When I got the monster, the only options (for great sound and styling) for me was termis, and arrows i think. So termis it was

"Jim,

I'm not aware of the OEM decals being metallic backed.

I go by the premise that auto clears work fine on the cans because they really don't get that hot.

Quality vinyl should be no issue if installed on a clean surface IMO.

Nate"

so, we will see, hopefully we will have a price soon as well.

How about making a left and a right side so the little rider is always pointed forward
feel free to flame me if this is too anal.

that might be too anal ha ha!

heres an update though.

"Jim,

My plan was to do it with white auto 5 yr vinyl and cut it out. There will be no clear vinyl. It will have an overlay for installation. The size is roughly 2.4" square...the size can be adjusted. It will cost slightly more as the size increases.

I'm thinking $10/pair shipped.

Nate"

he went on to say that others are sold 3.5 inches square, so this might be smaller,

anyone think we need to go bigger? can anyone tell what stock might be?

I'm pretty sure the Monster decals are 3.5 x 3.5. The 2.5 x 2.5 are typically for 749/999 exhaust boxes and maybe 848/1098/1198 cans too. The smaller version will IMO look..... small.
My metal backed decals came off VERY easily, any kind of vinyl will stick better unless the heat does something to ruin them or the glue. I can't see how we will find out before we try. My bike is in winter storage, but someone might be able to try some random white vinyl sticker and see how it holds up?

I'm not in the vinyl business per se. I don't really want to be. I have a cutter to make masks for my paintwork.

I'm doing this as a favor to another member that has severe restrictions when trying to do business outside of his country and to the folks that want these. That member provided the file.

Don't be misled, I will make a few bucks. ;)

I do not keep any quantities of sign vinyl on hand. The white is ordered. If someone wants a different color from white they'll have to pay for the entire roll plus shipping. pm me for details.

I will post to anywhere in the world.

I'll take a pair for my 749.   [thumbsup]

The previous owner nixed the termi stickers.   :-\

Normally you'd need the 2.5 x 2.5 version, if it will be offered.
+1 on the poll [cheeky]

Nate as I mentioned earlier in the thread that the streetfighter that I was modding for a friend had some really nice termi outline stickers that were in a metalic type of vinyl but they had began to peel and looked rather tatty. From what I've seen at the dealers the original termi stickers are of a similar type of metalic backed vinyl and they seen to stick OK so is the material your going to use metalic backed or not  ???

Looks like you've got yourself a new full time job  ;D ;D ;D
