Bike Wrap
I'm going to wrap my bike as a product demo (and just because I can) and I could use some ideas for colors/design. I'll be printing the design in photo-quality on 3m vinyl, so anything's a possibility.
It will look similar to BIKESKINZ | Performance Cycle Wraps, Sportbike Decals, Graphics but much better.
So... Lemmie hear your ideas.

Can you do a wrap with a really heavy metallic that looks so good it looks like it has depth to it? You know, like the really high end metallic paintjobs?
I noticed nobody does this, but there are a lot of people who want an actual nice paintjob rather than some obnoxious graphics, but don't want to pay 2,000 dollars to get their bike painted.

The way I see it, you have several options. You could do:
- A racing inspired graphic
- A sponsor or an advertisement (hopefully for TR)
- A graphic of something else in your life that you enjoy (cars, women, drugs, etc.)
- A random design of colors and shapes
- A hybrid of any of the above
Personally, I'd like to see some sort of racing graphic with some TRBT tied into it like fastforward said.
Whichever you'd like, I would like to come up with the design for you if you decide to go through with it. I can do a decent amount in Photoshop, and I can try to give you a quick sketch of whatever you'd like.

Racing graphics i.e Redbull,Monster,Rockstar,Repsol, blah blah would sell very well.

I've been looking online and really like this rc51. WWII bomber style with a Gatling gun... complete with firing flames and shell casings flying? The replica style and TR ideas are good, but I think I want something unique. I was even thinking about an edgy design with an argyle or plaid pattern inlay.
I dunno how well it would look printed. It's about $1400 for the wrap i'm doing (retail, 1-off custom), so it would be cheaper to paint it. I think 3m and others make material that looks just like metalflake... prob about $1.50/sqft.

I wrapped mine in 100% real carbon fiber. Along with the other numerous mods I've done recently I should finally be riding her tommorrow!

That WWII motiff is cool, but that P-40 Flying Tiger mouth on a Japanese bike is kinda dumb. The Tiger shark mouth was mostly used on American planes that fought the Japanese. (though the Flying Tigers were mostly American's that flew for the Chinese AF against Japan)
It's like putting big American flags and logos on a VW or Audi. If it were a Buell it'd be cool to do the American WWII plane look...Or WWII British aircraft accents on a Triumph would be neat. But not American iconic insignias on a Japanese bike, just my two cents.
