| Re: Note about Asphalt Interceptor Decals I like the interceptor alot actually. I think my problem is my whole area is sportbike oriented so I have been brainwashed that if its not an I4 its just not good enough  |

I am telling you I always liked the interceptor b/c it always seemed like a good mix of what I was looking for but like I said I have had a one track mind about bikes. Its starting to change though but only time will tell where I will go once I get $$

My machine can cut foil materials, but it would be die-cut to the shape of the wing, and wouldn't work for you.  |

| Re: Note about Asphalt Interceptor Decals Conq,
I can cut the decals (die-cut vinyl) in any color combo you like.
We would have to cut a shadow of the wing to completely cover the gloss then lay the actual wing/HONDA on top of it.
IF you use hi-perf vinyl (2-2.5 mil) layering them works great.
I even have some pimpy carbon fiber vinyl that might look intersting on the asphalt paint.
or chrome if you are so inclined.  |

| Re: Note about Asphalt Interceptor Decals Yeah, layering is a piece of cake, but it honestly really wouldn't look right on that bike. |

They were ordered from Ron Ayers before I even posted this thread, so they should be here any time now. |

| Re: Note about Asphalt Interceptor Decals Not the greatest pic, but they're done. I'd say they are 98-99% perfect. They'll be covered by the Bagster anyway, so I'm fine with that. I'll keep the other set in case I want to re-try it later.
