So I was thinking, looking at the big black expanse of fairing on my bike (1125r with buell fairing), that it might be cool to have a decal. The ones that came with the fairing were creased so I never put them on.

Like something from Erik Buell Racing, or a US type decal. But I really don't care for stickers. So I'm looking for ideas on a nice decal idea(s) that's not too much, or tacky or show-off, etc. I was thinking like a star decal like from the military, but I don't know. I'm all ears for ideas, if I don't like it, I can just peel it off.

Thanks.

It's just a vehicle media vinyl decal. It came out great though. I wanted to spice up the fairing but not with anything too ridiculous. So, that was a design my buddy came up for me.

I got fairings on my 1125R but they were installed before i picked up my bike, so I guess my big question is what did the decal's look like that came with the fairing kit ? Does anyone have a picture of them as I never seen them on anyone's bike picture on this site that i can think of

Not mine, and possibly more than you want to do, but I think it's really well done.

HD8803: I'm not sure they came with decals. I'm actually pretty sure they didn't.

The fairing kits came with the same decals that were in the Book of Buell - two small (5" or so) Buell shield logos.

That's it.

They were not applied, they were loose in the box.

Yea, they're not great, mine were creased in the box so I never considered putting them on.

Those are some sweet looks.

My shield recaps were installed by the dealer when I bought the bike... I figured theft just grabbed them out of a couple books.

Jules- I like that small American Flag decal alot!

eBay LOL - I used the following as a search criteria:

("american flag", "stars and stripes") (decal, sticker, vinyl)

Just looking again and there are some really cool ones if you wanted something alittle bigger..

Ahh, they never installed the shield logos on mine then. When I showed up to the dealer to get the bike it had the fairings already on it...for free!

I like that American flag decal too!! I had some on my front fairing but took them off, just didn't look right with the POW/MIA decal I have up there. I need to get some back on the bike. So far all I have is a red "United States" next to my forum name.

I'm pretty sure this is what I'd do to mine if I had the spare coin.
I guess it's from working around aircraft stuff for a few years, to me, this is the coolest paint job I've seen yet.

I've always thought a Eagle theme combined with the US flag would look great...use the side pods as open eagle talons coming in for the kill, the Eagle's head/beak would be on the top of the fairing/headlight ...bend in the US flag with the stars on the tank and under the talons and the strips flowing off the back of the bike.

I think the flag themed bike in this thread is very sharp

My little indication that I'm riding an American Sportbike. Cut from a photo quality print and just siliconed on so I can easily change it if it gets weathered.

Here's what I've done so far. There's going to be some red, white and blue added but I haven't figured out it out yet.
