Agree about the noadstan.

I love old American fonts. Check out this site:

http://tackorama.net/Fonts/diner.htm

I reckon the ones to try out are

"Air Conditioner"
"Roadsterism"
"Dymaxion Script"
"Hood Ornament"
"Remarcle"
"Rocketscript"


Looks like a good site. Here are the fonts I toyed around with from dafont.com in their "Retro" section. All free.

I will look into the RC1080; I've already relocated my fuel pump, so the left side is basically wide open. Where does one get the RC1980? Any rejetting needed after changeing the from the original air filter?

The rule I've heard is that you don't need to change your carb if you change just the exhaust or just the intake, but if you change both, you'll probably need to make some changes.

If you're still running the Cobra exhaust and you're using stock intake, plan on some tinkering.

Looks good yamigo. My mom actually has the cutter to do that kind of stuff. Not good.....
Little off topic here, but in the first post with your pics I see you've removed the eyebrows over the rear wheels. What size/type bolts did you use? As soon as my girl stops riding for the summer I'm gonna go solo and I've just not found a set of brows I like or can justify the price for. I really like what you have going on back there. Thanks man

Re:Made A Tank Badge 1 Year ago  
hey Yamigo~

any chance you have the bitmap or vector image of that logo? I tried making the same one a while back on my Roland Desktop plotter but the software that i have separates the letters so it's not one continuous sticker and it doesn't look as good.

I'd love to do what you've done if you dont mind sharing the file. I have the font (i LOVE dafont.com) but like i said, any of the continuous style fonts don't cut right for me on the software i use.

Love the look, and I just replaced my decals after 3 years of summer/winter riding. They didn't really need to be replaced yet, but some of the edges were looking a little worn, $14 for a new pair. I think this time I'm going to protect them with 3M clear paint protective tape.

And I put a smaller set on the side covers to match it up.
