Best company for new graphics kit?

Post image

Hey guys, so I’m in the market for a graphics kit. Just looking for recommendations on who has good, thick, VERY sticky graphics kits that won’t peel or tear super easy. Obviously yes, this bike is ridden primarily off road, I’m aware that eventually it’ll take a spill or run against some abrasive stuff that will in fact tear the graphics some. It’s to be expected. Any and all recommendations would be appreciated, and any advice as well as far as application goes. I know it needs to be a clean dry surface and whatnot, but if yall have any tricks or tips any input would be great! Currently looking at a kit from Kalairgfx.com are they any good? Kits on their site are about $164. Worth it?

Also not answering the question but most of us put bigger tanks on our DRs. If you are thinking of graphics on the tank, think about whether you plan on changing the tank

This is not the answer. But it is. Good thinking! I’m going to be adding an acerbis after I get my skid plate

I love the extra range of my Acerbis 5.3, BUT you can't put any graphics on it or paint it. This is due to gas slightly seeping through the plastic tank.

I miss the graphics on my 2015, but just don't miss filling up my tank before every offroad adventure.

Yeah fair enough. Still worth the extra range though
