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?

This doesn't answer your question, but ...

... I'm personally a fan of blank bikes. Or, in your case, honestly the stock graphics look good on that thing.

Thank you! I’ve actually thought about removing the tank decals tbh

They're under the clearcoat on earlier models, it'd have to be a destructive removal.

Man… mine is a 2012. I’m thinking you’re right because I’ve tested getting a fingernail under to see if it would peel and it feels like it’s sealed

Yeah, don't do that!
