I'm guessing wth the technology that's around theses days i'm thinking replicating motorcycle graphics can't be beyond a possibility?
I'm looking to get the, ahem, pink graphics replicated on the left side of the bike, they're scratched to buggery, right side is perfect, think the colour scheme is called ebony eventide?
Can anyone help me source any? Here's a pic!

Well, over two months on and im still waiting for 'two' decals for the bike from Image works, and the decals were already on their system?
Didn't think it was going to take this long.

Try this guy: https://crispydesigns.co.uk/
I believe he'll do bespoke stuff & has an excellent reputation. I haven't personally used him, but I did an enquiry & he responded very quickly.

give them a call - they were a little slack getting mine in the post but once I'd spoken to them they arrived promptly. 2 months is more than a bit sh!t though

Im into the routine of calling them every other week, they just say they'll call me, so i don't want to pester them if 'they''re' going to tell 'me' when they're ready.

Not sure why they are taking that long. I just some from them earlier this week. Start to finish inc new design work, colour matching and 2 rounds of sampling 4 weeks. Only smallish bits with a total cost of about £40 so no huge incentive to crack on with it.

Are the graphics not available from Kawasaki (I have a feeling I might has said this before but I have no reply in this thread).

A friend of mine had one exactly the same when fairly new, he dropped it & bought a new fairing panel & I'm sure it came without all of the graphics. He actually took off the rest of the pink graphics from both sides - it did look a lot moodier.

eta - just looked on Kawasaki Parts online, the pink graphics are a separate item but nla shown - no longer available.

Been there done that i'm afraid. I did find one on Ebay France at about dealer prices. Kawasaki do seem to sell panels with graphics on quite a lot, and graphics seperate.
I still need two though, i'll just have to be patient i suppose.

So, three months on and still no graphics, 'but', there is progress, i've just been sent two samples today of two colours that are nowhere near the colour on the bike! , ah well......
I would have thought with the technology available today getting a colour match on a 'plain' not a' metallic' colour would have been quite simple?
After all you see those ads on the tv of people walking into DIY stores, flashing their knickers and saying right, i want my conservatory 'that' colour please!

Not surprised, tried to get a metallic red to match Yamaha Lava Red to wrap a carbon belly pan but no joy.
