KTM Adventure graphics kit?!?!?

Ooobah-Moto · 07-21-2008, 06:14 AM

So I've seen plenty of KTM decal kits (bunch of random stickers really).

I'm wondering if there's a full decal/graphics kit out there somewhere - something rally inspired!?!?!?

I was thinking of painting the whole bike but in the meantime a rally inspired graphics kits might just do the trick!

How about this:

That's exactly what I'm NOT looking for - I've seen that on Ebay many-a-times. Thanks anyway PAbiker.

What I'm referring to is something that's more akin to what you see on MX bikes, where a stylized decal covers all the plastic (+ matching seat cover).

Anyone know what the Dakar teams do? Do they paint the bikes??

There are many companies that offer vinyl wraps (think giant sticker)...you can have anything you want designed and printed on vinyl. Totally custom just for you! Many promotional vehicles and drag cars are done this way. Cheaper and less time consuming than paint...with the potential for great detail. Typically, high quality vinyl will have a 5-7 year life (maximum) due to UV deterioration and adhesive failure. I would bet it would not last as long on a bike ridden in the dirt but it's worth a look. I can't recommend anyone specifically, but ask around with some local sign shops or do an internet search for vinyl vehicle wraps (or similar).

I've come to realize that at this point, your solution is the closest I'll get to what I'm looking for.

Just gives me more incentive to put in the leg-work and cut/measure out all the panels with clear vinyl - then strip them off and send in the pattern's to a professional shop who'll overlay an image on the given pattern.

hmmmm..... KTM 950 w/ Kustom ORANGE AND BLACK Kamo ?!?!?!?

I've been looking for the EXACT same thing...

I think a wrap like this would be very cool... Far nicer than the stupid GO!!!!!!!!! logo's

DeBandi · 07-21-2008, 05:16 PM

I would love to have something for the 950, but I have never ran across any options.

Good luck & keep us posted.

Do it in orange and black stripes like a great big bengal tiger!

I made progress on this today.

I may have a source for this if your interested.

I hope to have more info tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I have access to a 06 Adventure 950 template.

I will be working on the details of the template & some examples with graphics over the next couple of days.

Keep in mind that this template will take more material than most bike graphics because of the amount of area to be covered.

I will keep you guys posted.
