wanting to change the graphics on the Strada.

[pentonpro]

Can I just go to a sign guy and have them sized and made?
Like the racing Husky logo on this one.

Are you sure that's a decal? Kinda looks air brushed...not close enough to tell. Do you have a closer picture?
Decals can be made at a sign/graphic shop yes the bigger the graphic the hard it is to apply.
Plus one set that big left/right would be pretty expensive I'd think.

Tlhks I know a guy who does boat lettering. As for the size, it just takes a little patience to keep the bubbles out.
Please anymore ideas would be helpful.

A lot of vinyl wrapping places do custom printing, so instead of just getting a decal made, you can get an entire wrap. I think the TR panels wouldn't cost too much to do since they are relatively small and come off easily for install.

great idea I'll look into it.

kjackbrown is there a larger picture of your bike with the decal installed ? I want to that to mine....

 

[kjackbrown]

Mine is just one of the swingarm decals installed onto the tank section. Someday I would like to get one that is actually made for the tank.

I (and Kenneth Webb) would like to try and get this one as well but I would like the red portion of vinyl will go all the way to where the gas cap carbon looking panel section is (top half of tank in red...bottom half of tank black...both seperated by the Husky logo)...



better pic of graphic design...

Great stuff! Sign Guy or Gal do the art work and the decal? Let's see more out there.

Just went to the link. Got a great idea for the chrome material. Old school Husky

 

[pentonpro]

Picture from member Wolsink Husqvarna. You know that the we all want the chrome tank to return.

 

[RidingDonkeys]

I love chrome tanks, but after spending an afternoon on a BSA in the NC summer, I figured out why they stopped making them.

 

[pentonpro]

Maybe just a touch of chrome RidingDonkeys? PS RidingDonkeys a group of riders? Make a great t-shirt.

I think a touch on the side would look cool. Myself, I'm debating on leaving it all black or vinyl wrapping it in some form of camo like Rugged Exposure did.

The handle came about several deployments ago in Afghanistan. I stumbled upon a well used donkey one day. I fed him a bit and he seemed pretty laid back, so I hopped on. A few minutes later, the boss asked where I was, and somebody replied "Oh, he's over there riding donkeys." So "riding donkeys" became the official term for goofing off. Fast forward a few months back in the US, and a coworker takes one look at my Triumph and says "Hey, that's kind of like that donkey you used to ride. It's short, slow, and leaks at inopportune time." The name stuck, and has become my handle on all the forums I frequent.

Thanks kjackbrown.....I needed to see how it was shaped.....I want to do the same thing....I have black Trax box's and body work to put on. Hey can I shoot clear over your decals or will they react ???

 

[kjackbrown]

You should be fine applying a clear coat over your graphics, but keep in mind that if anything ever happened to your panels (scratch or whatever) it would then be very labor intensive to replace the decals.

OK, here's what I did. If you go to ebay, type in Husqvarna sticker 11", the first one up will be a guy in Whittier, CA. Two stickers for $9.99. He ships fast, too. I'm no expert, but vinyl quality seems good.
