Why not just get decals?

Look for an airbrush guy, you can get that done pretty cheaply and have the shadows built up. Is this cosmetic only or for the track?

If its for the track I wouldn't spend the money, better to save for new fairings! For the road then go for the airbrush.

word...yea, i can't decide what to do. in actuality i just lowsided the bike in a turn. i'm finding myself pushing the bike a little too hard for the street, and to be honest just "cruising" isn't doing it for me like it used to...i'm beginning to think my street riding days are numbered and that i really should just ride motorcycles on the track...anyone have any info on this? i've heard it's pretty expensive and i'm only going to get to ride like one weekend a month..that kinda sucks.
anyone in va do this? i might start a new topic...

Track riding is extremely expensive.

You won't need race numbers for a trackday and no one there cares about a "race look" so save your money. When the time does come once you get your race license just use some yellow and black vinal.

Look into doing a trackday:
