Neat idea, it stands out a bit too much for me. What if you had done it in white? Would your UV LED's have lit it up? Perhaps even a lighter or darker shade of yellow than the bike for a more subtle look?
That is pretty cool. What about doing the re-stickable vinyl cling things? Didn't really thing about the whole metallic thing with ink..
I had a post up yesterday about vinyl graphics. I'm still experimenting with different kinds of material. I think this method of graphics is pretty sweet. Never heard of it before.

Actually.. Disregard my last post.. it's probably a lot better to just pop open an image of the logo and trace it with illustrator/photoshop as vector art
I'm happy to do this if someone wants it.
This is the oldest method of graphics I know of. We used to put these on the plastic model cars that we used to build when there was tolulene in the plastic glue. When you bought a kit, it came with lots of decals and you could put different ones on and place them anywhere you want.
Tonight I'll make a smaller one. The one on the bike now is pretty 'BOLD" to put it mildly. I'll even see if I can find the correct font too.
DocFZ...do you know what font name is the correct one for the logo?
I've never done a decal this large before. I usually make them for the guitars I build to put on the headstocks, logo and model and serial number. This one was harder to get applied and get out the air bubbles etc.
Diluted...Do you have a source for the vinyl cling material for inkjet printers?
Since the ink is water soluble on an inkjet, I usually spray 2 thin coats of clear laquer to seal it. One thick one and the ink runs a bit. This one got a single spray so I could see how it worked and get some feedback.
Once I have the design correct, I can put 2 very thin coats of clear over the top and it will last a long time and be nice and shiny.
Lowered bars, cut windscreen, no mirrors gives way more aggresive look
