I love how they don't even put the decals on the bike to take a picture...they just photoshop the image of the graphics onto an image of the bike.  Shouldn't they be showing actual results?

That's probably because no Ducati owner (in their right mind) would put such ghey looking graphics on their bike...

Haha, I guess what I meant is that they should at least stick to using actual pictures of the gorgeous decals on their own bikes.  In other words, if I saw sombody with those on a Ducati I think I'd have to choke a Buddha Loves You...

nick.....man o' man......

Dude, I hate to see people get flamed for what the like and whatnot.  but you just keep putting the egg on your face.
The GS is not a crotchrocket, and it never will be.
if thats what you like than so be it.  but dont expect not to recieve critism. 

I personally and most on this sight, wouldn't put those stickers on their bikes. ever.  Ghey dont even scratch the surface.
and its not just here. on the road you'll never be taken srsly. especially in south FL.

I've been in that area and can understand where your being influenced to think that shaZam! is hot.  But most of those sportbikers wouldn't be caught dead on anything less than 600cc/100hp. theyre gonna look at you like a scooter with cheap graphics.

from your previous posts it seems like your just interested in turning heads, IMO you got the wrong bike for that.

-----

Otherwise... white flames would look "the best".... I guess.  I think they have them reflective too, and I bet you need all the help you can get.

be safe. learn to ride properly.  try not to put much emphasis on what others think. if the flames get you laid in south FL, then ROCK ON with your bad self. :thumb:

is it that nick's writing is getting better or am I just getting better at reading it?

and nick I think decals are pretty lame to be honest.  If you want your bike to be different, why not paint your fairings/tank a different color.  If you search, there's good info around about how to paint it yourself and make it look nice.

Avoid flames. Please. It may just be me, but they're not hot. No pun intended.

Dragon? It's early and I'm a tired boy, but I went back through and didn't see anything about a dragon in this thread. You puffing the magic dragon already, Teflon Nicky?

Oh shaZam!, I was kidding. I was making a joke about another cliche decal (dragon) and something completely dumb (poison ivy). That was a joke. Also avoid those if you can.

You wanna make it unique? And you live in Florida, right? Where fully-faired sportbikes reign. If you really wanna make it different, talk to Alpha (or the other guy who just did it) about doing an F-to-E conversion. That'll make it stand out for sure.

seriously though, with the stock paint job on your bike, the flames are going to clash with the existing graphics.  You'd have to paint it to make it look...right....

Wait, are we sure about that? I'm not sure Nick has specified who he wants to get the attention from, and thus we shouldn't get out the Jump To Conclusions mat just yet...

Teflon, you want to pick up babes or hunks?

Wink.
