If you could have the raised Kawasaki letters on the fairing smoked out, not the same black as the fairing, but blacked out, that would look really cool.

Too funny, we think too much alike bro!  :chugbeer:
 
I actually already have this in motion, I went to a local "sign" shop that do the stickers for one of my buddies that has his own bike shop, "EDR".
 
We took a piece of paper and overlayed it across both the raised Kawi and Connie logos and ran pencil lead over it to get the outline of the raised section. I'm having them make up a set of black stickers that will then lay over those to emblems but still show approx 1/4" of that outer edge, giving it somewhat of a shadowed effect, centers of the letter black (which once they build the mold that color could be any color) and the outer edge still being the silver, I told them if it turns out good they may be able to offer them for sale for you guys...
 
Green, black, silver, blue, red, whatever tickles your fancy!  :chugbeer: :grouphug:
 
If it turns out as I hope I think it will look pretty cool, and better yet it will be all as a set so you won't have to apply each letter individually, just line up the entire thing, press, and pull off the outer film...  8)
 
Why is it I never make any commisions on my ideas...  :-\ :( ;)

That's a damn good idea J! I'd be in for a set of those. Will they be reflective?

Methinks mesees a trend here- it is like those number progression sequences from the fourth grade, right? What will the next picture look like? This is my guess...

OK that is too funny!!!

Thanks C.  :chugbeer:
 
They could be any type of material you'd want I'd think as long as the material can be sourced, I think the stickers are made of vinyl.  :-\

Whatever happened with this? I must have missed it at the time, but would be seriously interested. Did it not work out or did it not get done at all?

  Somebody posted a pic of their Connie a while back.  It was painted white.

  It was surprisingly sharp looking--especially with the black trim.

I think a pearl white would look cool too, but I think it would also look kinda Leo like...  :-\

Why would they need to get out of the way of the slower color?    ???
