Swingarm Decals 2- the sequel

********IMPORTANT UPDATE***********

I ordered the decals today. One catch- they will not print on a clear backround, for the reasons that I forwarded to most (hopefully all) of you who chose clear. Here they are again:

The adhesive on the back of the decal is not crystal clear, so whatever body part is under it may show through slightly milky or 'odd'. Clear obviously will not hide any surface scratches or blemishes, so those will show through. Also, while handling the decal, any fingerprints you make on the adhesive will show through. Generally speaking the decal could likely look quite disappointingly dirty on the clear section after it was installed.


I don't have any experience with this, I've only installed graphics on one bike in my whole life, and there weren't any clear pieces. So- I made the quick decision to substitute silver for the clear sets I couldn't get. I ordered a few extra of both silver and black, so you can still change your mind as to color on a first come, first served basis until all of one color is spoken for. I hope to be shipping decals to you guys late next week if all goes to plan.

having them cut out around the logo might be better (if they'll do it).

"having them cut out around the logo might be better (if they'll do it)."

I was thinking about the same thing. I lost interest with the silver background.
Paul has put so much time into this that I didn't think he would want anymore complications.

With the luxury of past experience or hindsight, neither of which I had- that's a very good idea, and one that would work for those of you who don't want silver or black, but this boat has already left the harbour.

Logic would dictate some skillful scissors or exacto work would accomplish the same thing. Not as nice perhaps as a factory cut edge, but that's no longer an option. I suspect it also would have considerably added to the price, because it would no longer be a rectangular swingarm decal, cut using existing templates, but a completely custom shaped sticker, actually 2 stickers, per side.


For those of you who 'reserved' decals but no longer want the decals because they are now silver- you are not obligated to take them. I didn't collect any money from anyone ahead of time. Call DeCal works or Ride PG or whoever and order your own exactly the way you want them to be. That's fine. Really. No worries. Just let me know your intentions now so I can make sure someone else who really wants them can get a set before they are all spoken for. Once they are gone, that's it.

OK, I'll take a set of each. I had ordered two clear so if you have Silver and Black I will take one of each. SOLD!

Thanks,

Gary

We've been patiently waiting, and here's an update on the decal order:

I got a call from DeCal Works today, and it seems my order is next in line to be printed. I got the impression from his reaction that it had maybe slipped through the cracks somehow, but the rep was quick to get back to me with an action report. I should be shipping decal sets by mid-week next week. Sorry for the delay guys, I had expected them much sooner.

Thanks for those who have already paid. You guys rock and I wish I would have been able to send your decals out as quickly as you all sent your payments in.

I have a list of those who spoke for decals and I'll be e-mailing you to make sure you still want a set (or sets). I think the black are all spoken for, but I have a couple of silver sets left.


paul

No problem here.

My wife taught me patience after we got married. You know what I mean? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

do you think you'll have extras left? I would like to see some pictures of the final product mounted on the bike.. I may be interested ...

Thanks

Kevin

Let me know if you end up with any extras. I'd like some silver ones for my 510.

Just got e-mail notice they are in a UPS truck headed my way right now.

I'm READY!

First wave of decals are in the mail!

Here is what the black ones look like installed. My brother is working out of town, so no installed pics of the silver yet...

Here are the silver:

Well the PO Box is probably full a bills, but I guess I'll go have a look.

If my PO box lady bends my stickers I think I may have to hurt someone.
