        Obviously you have to ignore the white base.... The big one is growing on me the more I look at it.... Only have room for GS750.

                Less is definitely more..sh*t can the stripes all together. It would look really cool if the suzuki logos were done like ghost images (ie. pearlescent white mixed with clear) and then sprayed over the black. Look at how the skull look in this picture..but imagine the word suzuki. The effect is subtle and stealthy but effective.

                  Dan,
                  Might I suggest Photoshop?


                  OK even in a pinch PC paint will work. If you have Powerpoint, you can add words in one of many fonts and rotate them with the text object tool. Much easier to tryout different stuff

                  Jim

                  BTW I like the center strip, just don't over do the 750 decals

                    I liked the pinstripes. I think a middle sized 'Suzuki' would be best. The small one doesn't seem to fit right and the large one seems to totally dominate the side of the tank. My friend could make some up if you wanted me to have him. That's what he does.

                      My vote is for the double pin stripe down the middle, medium size suzuki logo on the tank, GS750r logo, and of course the red Full Floater logo on the tail.

                      The black looks good enough to save in the photos. Is it?

                        It ought to.. it's fresh paint! It's clear coated but needs flatting back before decals are added & another coat of clear. The marks you can see are dust. It's just mocked up, placed on the bike to see what it looks like.

                        Those are silver decals, obviously they have a backing sheet hence the white. The large suzuki will look less imposing without the white.

                        Jim - I can photochop with the best of them but I wanted to lay these out like this so I got the proper scale... I could get rid of the white easy enough I guess to make a more realistic setting.

                        There is NO ROOM for the R after GS750 unless I go around a curve but it doesn't look right.

                        The problem with getting other decals made up is that the vinyl won't match 100%. Guess the place I got them has some other decals, perhaps I'll buy a 2nd set,.

                        The Small "Suzuki" is exactly the same size as the emblem on my skunk.

                        "ghost" graphics look good but I'm no looking to spend that much time messing about....

                          offset double stripe? symmetry is overrated
