When you think of aftermarket add-ons for your motorcycle, you probably don’t consider graphics. However, decals can help protect your bike’s exterior from scratches and dings. They are also an excellent option for personalizing your ride. Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions is one of the premier providers of motorcycle graphics in Gilbert, AZ. In today’s blog, we will look at what you need to know to get the best graphics for your bike.
Types of Graphics
Thanks to digital printing technology and the array of vinyl films specifically designed for vehicles by big names like 3M and Oracal, you can achieve just about any look for your motorcycle. Some of the most popular decal solutions include:
Full Wraps
Motorbikes don’t really give our graphic designers a lot of real estate to work with, but with the space they have, they can create some impressive decals. A full motorcycle wrap typically includes graphics for the seat cover, fork tubes, rear fender, airbox portion, swingarm, fork guard, front fender, and radiator shrouds.
Trim Kit Graphics
Rear and front fender, fork tube, and swingarm decals are usually part of a trim kit. Sometimes airbox graphics are also included in this package.
Radiator Shroud Decals
This kit generally consists of airbox decals as well as radiator shroud graphics. You can choose custom colors and images that show off your attitude. If you ride professionally, we can also incorporate the logos of your sponsors.
Should You Install Your Motorcycle Graphics Yourself?
We are able to design and print your graphics, and you are welcome to install them yourself. Though, we caution against going this route. Sure, when you install decals on your own, you save a few bucks, but you also shorten the lifespan of your graphics, and they won’t look as good.
Our skilled installation technicians have thousands of hours of experience installing vinyl decals. They have the tricks and tools of the trade to do the job right. They will ensure there are no air bubbles or creases. And, for several types of vinyl, your warranty is only valid when your graphics are installed professionally.
Of course, if you do decide that you want to install your graphics yourself, then we are more than happy to give you some tips to guide you in the process.
