Title: Anyone want a vinyl print of their username or race number?
Post by: makenzie71 on January 11, 2014, 08:22:18 PM
We've started cutting out custom vinyl graphics.  Small designs, words, etc.  Thought I would share.  We don't have a lot of colors in stock right now, mostly white, but we can get in short notice pretty much anything.  If you have something you're looking for post it here and I'll post, publicly, a quote.

Each graphic sold here will make a $1 donation to GStwins.

We're cutting these from very durable outdoor, all-weather vinyl.  These are a couple examples we just did for my bike.  Obviously, the 71 is my number, always has been, and the rest is a reference to what this bike was when I brought her home.

If you do not already do so, you should consider reflective vinyl. Looks cool in the day and more cool (and safety) at night

We don't have any of the reflective vinyl in hand but we can get some.  Cost a little more but yeah it'll stand out better.

 Looks cool. How about the gs500e with the Suzuki font kinda the way it's on the side panels in reflective?

Which one do you want?  There's been a few different logos over the years.  I have a couple of fonts that look like the early 90's logos...might need to sift around to get the later ones.

Okay actually after digging around I was able to get the font Suzuki uses for pretty much everything (Helvetica, actually not that hard to find), so I can make prints that will pretty much look stock but be reflective.

The stuff we have is 7 year stuff...so long as you're not parked outdoors in the sun all the time it should last longer.  I would like to stick to white and black.  Doing a pair of GS500E logos measuring roughly 2.5" x 12"  will be $15 shipped to the US.

Non reflective would be $11 shipped to the US for much the same thing..."GS500E", "F" if that's what you want, roughly 2.5" x 12".  We have black, red, blue, and yellow in hand.

Because I've had several people ask about international shipping...+$7 on any of the packages to go overseas (or just to Canada...or Mexico, I guess, but I don't think they have internet there so it doesn't matter)

Can you make any with 2 colors or layered 2 colors?

I have a Kawasaki fairing sticker I need duplicatd in the reverse.

Also I have an original tail decal set for the "E" model. If you could copy it, you could make tail decals in any 2 color combination for restoring bikes.

I have a few other original OEM decals in my stash which could be scanned and copied since they are no longer available.

We can do the layered ones...might cost a little more, depending on what they are, but doable.

Scan what you got (or what you specifically want) and email them to me and we'll see what we can do.

mak im assuming my username in same size as the gs500e/f would be pretty much same price ( for upcoming goped project. )
Title: Re: Anyone want a vinyl print of their username or race number?
Post by: makenzie71 on January 14, 2014, 03:05:00 PM
Not quite the same size, man...if I put all that on there the letters will be a hair over an inch in height.  Which really isn't small.

To be clear on that point:  3" in height is the biggest.  Doesn't have to be that big.  3" letters are actually pretty large.  The stock font on most bikes is usually in the 2" area.

Hmmmm... I'm gonna have a possible decal to cut .. Multi layer .. Black background, reflective white or silver lettering ... All in reverse ... Need one for inside the ZG touring screen.... I'll see if I can get the old one off the stock screen in one piece .... Then scan it ... Provide relevant measurements ....

Only bugger I can see is getting the bugger smooth and straight on the inside of the curved screen...

I know the stock decal has that microdot edging to it... But am thinking to replace that with a different setup ... Tribal edges or something ... That will cut out without making the machine have a heart attack

... Sound do-able Mac?

Anything is doable.  Email me a picture of it so I can have an idea of what we're getting into.  Layered decals aren't a problem, and we can figure out any kind of border you want.

I don't know yet...probably me lol.  She wants to sell artsy projects.  I just want to cram eBay and Etsy full of $5 pre-cut numbers.  We're kind of at odds with one another that way.

im thinking 2" high, maybe a foot in length. this will go down centre of deck on ped project.  may put my foredom CC up for sale. or my smith mini torch.  so im not spending money I need for doctors. this equipment was my Christmas bonus. ive got duplicates of them both. sotheyre not needed

Yama if you can deal with a little distortion in the letters then yeah.  If the lettering was two inches tall we'd need about 18~22" of room to get the whole thing in there (it's a pretty long name).

Here's an example we cut up for a small outfit (I've had a few requests for layered decals):

what would you charge for 3"x24" if I read correctly 3" is max?, which tbh would be perfect. most of the scoot decks are 24+" ive got my eye on a Chinese scoot as something to use until im able to do a proper ped. found one for 270 shipped. may put my foredom up for sale, the mini torch as well. perhaps the rigid pressurewasher.  combination of those should cover both the scoot and your decal. I figure you wouldn't want anything else than perfect or nearly perfect. and my friend, neither would I. if it means wait a week or two then so be it.

Damn man that's like eight depressing "I have to sell all my stuff to survive" posts in a row lol...just cruise craigslist and pick up a freebie GY6 scooter if that's what you want to do.  I pick up three or four a year for <$50 that just need carburetor work or a new CDI.

Just trying to give you a hard time, man.  Trying to tell you not to spend any money on a Chinese scooter when you can get them pretty close to free!

no worries my friend. just had to cool off briefly the other day. hence my late reply. still am interested in the decal. probably several. getting some goped stuff from steezin here soon. so the decal we were talking about would work perfectly.  plus using clear griptape, I can put it under htat and 1 have nearly theft proof scooter qand working on other designs im interested in. once I get those done. will send that to you via this thread and get a price.  job is iffy atm though. ( may not have one lol since company sold/changed hands.  ) will be in touch though.
