hi, i have lost the thread but there was kuda sticker request that still want to mail off for but i am thinking of painting / vinyl my helmet a little custom i am wondering does anyone own kuda or would the forum collectively frown on something like this coming down or past them on the highway?
i am yet to work out how this could be realistically implemented without a lot of masking tape or maybe multiple spliced vinyls but i honestly think these should be off the shelf included with every kawasaki motorcycle purchase
ps. apologies for my mspaint grade skills

ha Looks like KUDA has been pOwned!
Cant see there being any problem with that, the more KUDA awareness the better I say
Oh send us a PM 4th, you could do that as a vinyl wrap without too much fuss

much easier than paint + can be removed later

I have Vector artwork you can use either way

Firstly, have you ever tried putting a sticker of that size on something round like a helmet? It's a bloody nightmare job, and you better be a) really good, and b) really patient, if you expect no air bubbles or creases in it.
Secondly, I'm not big on putting stickers on helmets. I think you'll find most helmet manufacturers don't recommend it either.

as far as original artwork, the finished product you see on stickers belongs to Rob, he based that off the smiley i did
the face is a common forum smiley so i have no idea who created it, but the moving kuda hand was done by me.
Like Rob said, i dont have a problem with it, but if you do decide to start selling the idea and making a profit, maybe consider making a donation to the club

The vinyls we use these days can go on far more complex curves (front corner of a plastic bumper, front mud guard etc)

add a bit or heat & on we go + with channels in the adhesive there is no bubble trouble

oh & the adhesive is not aggressive like the good old days, it is pressure sensitive & classed as non permanent.
I had a client send a helmet before for decal application & its pretty simple Ardy

Depends if you are acting like a tool or not. If you are not drawing negative attention to the site then there shouldn't be a problem.

That would be "ambikudaous"
