T-shirts

Just browsing around on internet and I came across GSX1400 t-shirts on wish, have a look I think they were cheap as well . Type in GSX 1400 pure muscle and you should find them.

If your buying from wish then go for the xxxl and it might just about fit a 12year old boy .

I avoid WISH.

OK, whilst this airbrush artwork is not a GSX1400.

I make my own T-shirts..

I airbrushed this T-Shirt for a mate in Canberra who owns a Ninja exactly as I have airbrushed here with the IXIL exhaust.

Did this last year and then resprayed my 1400 into a Wes Cooley tribute..

Now doing some Mini Cooper S shirts for my sons and will then do some GSX1400 T-Shirts for myself..  No problems with sizing

Don't know why the colours aren't showing up properly in the pic..  It is Kawasaki Green.  I'll see if I can post another one

A VFR T-Shirt I airbrushed a while back

I recently purchased a Givi Tankbag from Wish and little side bag that attaches to the riders hip turn up. They tried to pretend I had ordered it and refused to refund until I mentioned my next complaint was to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
They refunded the article but not the postage.
Be careful on Wish.
Conversely, I also purchased a BMW Tankbag for the K1600 off EBay. $400 is a lot for a Tankbag but at least I have what I ordered.

Very talented Bluey!!  To Airbrush that onto a T Shirt, amazing.   

[grog]

Yeah Bluey, youre a talented person. Just as a general question, we now have nearly 2000 members. Is it time we get a Forum T Shirt? I mean, get a design we like then bulk order. Ill be in it for starters. Someone with more brains than me will surely have a way to do. Just an idea.

Screen Printing with multiple screens.  Easiest way I would think.

That way you are using textiles paint, like what I use for airbrushing T-Shirts.  Heat set, so it never washes out.  I airbrushed some T-shirts for my brother for christmas, must be about 20 plus years ago, as it was before I moved to Canberra in 2002.  He still has them, T-Shirt hasn't worn out and the artwork still looks the same.

If you did screen printing, then several templates could be made up of the same design for the different colour layers.

I could do something similar with airbrushing.  But 2000 T-Shirts would take too long to do.  That said, all my T-Shirts are a "1-Off"..  one of a kind, but its also just a hobby for me.

There are  cheaper ways.  Like buying the iron on transfer material for colour laser printers and making your own iron on transfer.  But that stuff, you'd be lucky to get maybe 12 months wear from it, after its washed a few times, I've seen the transfers just get destroyed.

I can try to come up with a design.  Depends if people would like a cartoon style design like the VFR I did, or something exactly to scale like the Ninja 1000..

Cartoon style is easier.  Doing scale stuff is really quite difficult to keep everything in exact proportion. But thats if you want a bike on the t-shirt.  If you only want lettering..  thats a different story.

Lettering is easy.  screen print would be easy to do. 

I'd be willing to do that with screen printing, but would need definite orders as its a lot of work with getting the templates right as well as buying all the paint and T-shirts etc.

Thanks for answer Blue. Ill hang and wait to see what others say. To me just a GSX14 Forum printed is my want.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Great idea Grog, I like the idea of just the Suzuki logo and "GSX1400".  I would definitely buy a couple

[VladTepes]

I looked at this once and postage is the main issue.

In Australia you'd be looking at about $30 per shirt PLUS postage say around $15 which makes it expensive-ish. Would people be prepared to pay that? I suspect not but let me know.

We'd need to get some made in Australia and some in UK to cater for our international membership.

Another option - but prob too much hassle for individual members - would be to get a bunch of embroidered patches made up and then people get them sewn on locally.   A bit of a PITA for me so that's certainly not my preference.

Certainly open to ideas.
