Default Bike Graphics

So, i got a 08 Colbat blue SV650S. Picking her up on Tues. Got a high pipe M4 carbon racing exhaust put on, as well as a rear seat cowl.
Im also curious to know if anyone has tinkered with the idea of some minor graphics.
I was thinking of giving it a old Shelby Cobra kind of look. A Dark colbat blue, but put two small white stripes down the middle, with a White patch starting from the nose and ending at the tail.
Let me see what kind of thing you've done to your bikes!

Cheers Mark.

Yea, exactly like that! Except mine is a much darker blue. I think it would make the bike stand out just a little bit more. Im thinking of putting just graphics on it and not paint. Any idea of Ballpark for just a identical stripe like that would run for in the US?

This site is American, and they list the graphics for the tank and fairing, but not the seat unit as far as I can see

http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

Any decent graphics shop should be able to do you copies.
