Default Anyone installed "Vinyl" on their bike?

This site claims some great prices and you can get a custom bike look for very little. Did anyone have this stuff installed on their bikes and if so what was the result?

I have used vinyl before and have had good luck, factory graphics are vinyl. They last about 5 years if correctly applied. I have not used this company I have a vinyl cutter so I cut my own I don't have the time to do graphics packages but if you just need a decal busa logo ect I can help you out. I cut the graphics on my old gsxr you can see it here.

Crackhead caught my eye :

People of any race that live to hit that nasty-ass rock. Usually real thin, dirty and smell like warm trash and/or spoiled milk, fecal matter, rotting corpses etc. Frequently bobbing, weaving, twitching and glitching. Large periodic spurts of energy. Always got something for sale or knows somebody that has just what you need. The most severe crackheads can be viewed in the wild missing standard items such as shoes, socks and teeth. If you come into contact with a crackhead it is suggested to secure all valuables and avoid any physical contact or direct contact with their breath (could cause dizzyness and/or vomitting). If you lose property to a crackhead, accept the loss. If you find yourself chasing a crackhead, accept the loss .. crackheads are fast, they be gittin somewheres.. You ain't catching no crackhead on a Kawasaki !

My track bike was all red w/a blue tank cover. All the white & blue is vinyl I cut & added. Even the lower is completely covered in blue vinyl. Very easy to do.

Awww did you drag the charcoal grill inside for heat last night?

I want you to get up slowly and work your way to the door, no lights, I think you may have a gas leak in the house..

open the door and get the hell outside for a bit... when you return to your senses.. call the paramedics..

i was totally all over that exact scheme since i have the 08 grey/black combo
thought it would be the best theme to go with... had it booked for clear coat as well for late march ready for next season.... guess i'll have to come up with another theme regardless i think it looks better on yours anyways since you have the all black model... regardless such a sick result... so sweet great job

I looked at several race reps but this I thought looked the best especially at the time team TAS Suzuki posted the fastest ever Isle of Man TT lap on a K8 GSX-R1000!

I did also look at a Barry Sheen rep which I thought would have looked unique.

I am saving my hard earned cash for a full Yoshi R55 system.
