Graphics (kits?)

Wow, I just checked out the gallery, You guys have some AWESOME bikes!!!!!

My SuperHawk is Red, and the rear end is metallic grey (orig. piece was cracked before I got it, and was replaced with a titanium type color). I was going to paint it yellow & black, but to be honest, it looks so killer the way it is, I'm just going to repaint it the same colors

I have a lower fairing, nothing fancy, but it's a sweet addition. Better than the belly pan, and makes it look soooo badddazzzzz. Once I have the lower fairing mounted (red w/black bottom), I'm going to fix the very very minor (so minor I'd have to point it out lol) body damage from when it was dropped.

Can anyone recommend a good site to check out some graphics for the VTR? I've seen a couple I pulled up with my Google search, but I know if I want the scoop on the best stuff, I should ask here

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to just throw on any graphics. I was hoping to get your opinions as well, as far as the overall look, and especially durability of the graphics. Any experiences with putting clearcoat over them? Can't wait to see your replies!!

Thanks,
~Mike

TapeWorks is the best...but I'm not sure if they have renewed their license with Honda or not. Last time I checked, they didn't have near as many graphic kits specifically made for the VTR as they used to because of the whole license thing.

Just checked....they are still trying to acquire their Honda license. Once they get it....they will have a bunch of VTR specific kits that are way better than what they can currently offer.

I am excited to see the full line. The ones they have are pretty cool lookin', but I want to see whatever may be available before I make a decision. Is it ok to Clearcoat over those?

You might want to contact Chris Kruzel. He's a fantastic graphic designer who has done loads of documented work for guys on the apriliaforum. I'm sure he also does Honda graphics. His email is kruzel@drippinwet.com

He's a great guy and has many many satisfied customers
