GSX1400 Owners .org

OK I'm keen to know if members would be interested in stickers or decals, as per the poll.

If you have any ideas I've missed, comment below and I'll add to the poll if necessary.

If you have any ideas for designs or text, comment below,

Obviously these would need to be paid for they wouldn't be free. So if you wouldn't be prepared to stump up some cash (assuming price is reasonable) then please answer that you aren't interested.

I am not asking for any commitment at this stage though - just gauging interest so I can speak to a guy I know who makes this stuff.

Thanks all.

everybody loves stickers, for cars, workshop, toolboxes...  :notworthy:

Thanks guys please keep the votes rolling in.
Also if you have any ideas for suggested wording for said stickers/decals feel free to share :)

Says it all I reckon,  might be a big sticker then ..

"GSX1400: A Magic Carpet with a Rocket up its Arse"

Quite like a sticker for the reg plate, to cover up the dealer's free ad.

A patch for me jacket! :8:

I wouldn't mind a few decent size stickers but I don't attach them to my helmets anymore. I stick them to a magnetic backing so I can take them with me if need be.

Well as we don't have that here on our plates you'd need to quote the dimensions please? And what text you reckon would be good / would fit.

We do get those plastic surrounds to dress the plates up.  Often with the dealers names on.

I know you can get them made but not sure what that would cost. Not cheap I guess.  I have a couple of polished stainless ones but my mate doesn't make them anymore.

I'd definitely be interested in a few stickers and other stuff stubby holders, Hats, shirts whatever as long as all good quality  :grin:

Same for me, ll see what you come up with.

I own a roland vinyl cutter - so I make my own in whatever size and colour I want..  :grin:

@grog that allows you to put your name on but it uses a specific image you can't use your own bike.

Did I just see someone volunteer to do up a forum-sized batch?   :stir:

If that was the reference then the solution is:
1. Remove plate surround
2. Place plate surround in bin.

.... and replace with a GSX1400owners.org one ?

Problem with that is as we have members in UK, Australia and elsewhere everyone has different size number plates.

Yeah, and it'd be awkward posting something to the UK the size of a barn door...  :lol:

I think as long as they fit in a standard letter sized envelope I'm sure postage would be fine .
:cheers:

Yeah but our barns are smaller than yours.

Happy to help out with the stickers.  Just depends on size etc.  My Roland cutter isn't the full size industrial one.  But, if you look at my thread under Member rides, I produced all the stickers that are on my 1400 when I re-sprayed it.  Clear coated over the top of them..  my cutter did all the Suzuki/Yoshimura and custom GSX 1400S sticker on my bike.

Colours will depend on what I can buy from the local sign writer.  I get a discount off them as I buy all their off-cuts that are too small for their industrial cutters, but are fine for my smaller Roland Cutter. 

I have all sorts of fonts as well.  So let me know what you want when your're ready..

Thanks mate.
I need to figure out appropriate dimensions - any guidance on that?

kinda depends on what everyone wants.

But for the types of stickers that you have listed for choice. Unless someone wants something stupid large for the side of a van, I can do the sort of sticker sizes that you would normally purchase at a bike shop, like the size of the stickers that are on my 1400.

I created all of these with my vinyl cutter

So if anyone wants any custom stickers for their bikes or replacement stickers, I can help out there as well.

I did a whole batch of OEM stickers up for another rider who was restoring a grey import Yamaha FZR250 .  Couldn't get the OEM decals, so I worked off photos of the OEM stickers and recreated the whole set. Though, by the time I was done, he decided not to respray the bike.. 

But I still left the designs stored on the hard drive.. 

I have to do a set of 750 Katana decals for my neighbor who is restoring a 750 pop up headlight Katana, and also for his FJ1200.. which I am respraying for him..

don't know why some of the photos come out distorted..  Sorry about that..

but I hope you get the idea.
