Started Working On My New Graphics

chrisroberts916 · 01-26-2012, 06:08 PM

My Z is in make over stage and along with everything else it's also getting White plastics. The frame, motor, swingarm and more is pc'd white. The rest is pc'd team green. Let me know how you like these so far.

I started putting some of the aftermarket manufactures that I used in the build on the fenders. Might need bigger fenders!

Looks good, wish i had the skills to design my own set of graphics. Ive got lots of ideas in my head, but they just dont come out on paper, or computer.

There's a few good artist on here that are willing to help, Xtremer-pxl is pretty good at it. Might want to pm him.

I was really hoping for a little feedback. Should I remove the green outline around the black checkers? Should I add color to the word Suzuki? With or without the manufactures logos? Any input is welcomed.

Personaly really like them. I probably don't have the creative eye your looking for tho.

chinoduca · 01-27-2012, 09:58 AM

One of the nicest graphics I have seen, good job!

I like the design quite a bit, as for the aftermarket logos, I think you should limit the number you put on there just a little. It looks a little crowded IMO. I like the sound of the color scheme you are going for with your build. Be sure to post up Picts as you go.

As a racer, (motorcycle, not atv) I'm not fond of plastering stickers all over my bike for people who don't sponsor me. It's like free advertising...you can't get away with it, why should they?

HardRacing · 01-27-2012, 10:14 AM

I think they both look good. I wouldn't change anything.

Good point! Sell your advertising space since it is only a matter of reprinting the rear fender graphics, it wouldn't be that big of a deal to redo them as you pick up more sponsorships. Try to get anything you can from sponsors.

I like that "no free advertising" part. I don't race anymore, except at the fair and the local track twice a year. The stickers are more of a reminder of where the 1000's of dollars went this fall/winter. Everything listed I have new parts for and I'm still missing FullFlight, MSR and ASR.

The Super Cracker Racing came along last year when I was jumping and a friend called me a Super Cracker and it just kinda stuck.

I will be starting my build thread real soon. I'm waiting on my new Web cams and a few other small parts. I'm doing a build thread, not a teardown and rebuild one. It's nice having a spare Z to play with so I don't have to rush my build.

I've been researching, reading and watching this forum for awhile to see what works together and I think it's going to be a beast when shes done.

Thanks for the input.

TRMN8TR · 01-27-2012, 11:29 AM

I saw the "Super Cracker Racing" and assumed you were doing some kind of racing. If its just a play bike, I guess it doesn't really matter. At least the stickers you have are for products you're actually going to run. I personally like the look of the manufacturer stickers, so I say go with it.

But I know guys at the track I race at that actually get upset and yell at new racers who show up with stickers all over their bikes. It's an expensive sport so any little bit helps, and I guess they don't want vendors to say "Why should I sponsor you when that guy is running my stickers for nothing?" Now I'm not that serious about it, especially considering my race series is so amateur that I don't see that ever happening. But we do have some good tire, brake, fluid and suspension contingency sponsors that I wouldn't want to lose.

chrisroberts916 · 01-27-2012, 03:55 PM

Yea, I wish I had someone to buy my shocks for me. I understand where your coming from. I'm 40 so I'm in the old mans class. The stickers are also a way to keep track so when I change my signiture.

woodsrider129 · 01-27-2012, 05:24 PM

Those graphics look really good. I'd like to see what thy look like with the word suzuki removed and coloring the "S" logo in red. Just a thought.

Xtremer-pXL · 01-27-2012, 05:31 PM

those are pretty killer. A+ work.
