Telefonica SV - good idea/bad idea? Poll - SV650.org

Paul the 6th · 30-01-08, 10:22 AM

I've finally purchased a lower fairing and i should hopefully be picking up a seat cowl & hugger tomorrow night... I fancy making up some race replica graphics and was thinking of the GSV-R style Telefonica decals. (see below)

using the poll above, let me know whether you think it would be a good idea to try & create something similar but on the SV...

(p.s. I'm a graphic designer and sign writer so would be able to manufacturer the decals myself at work.)

after arsing about in photoshop for half an hour: (needs a lot of tidying up)

It's really down to you mate. We all have our own tastes so do what you want to do. Personally, I wouldn't bother but that's me.

very nice, you have it done proffessionally? and has it been lacquered over or are they just stuck on top of the paint work - i wont be respraying/relacquering over them (too much of a ball ache and if i change my mind I can take em off

)

i got the idea after seeing your gsxr style sv funnily enough - made me think about how to make it stand out from a standard sv.

The only acceptable colour is BLACK. That is all.
