So don't be too harsh but I finally figured out the trick to it was using soapy water to align everything, BUT getting flat decals on curved surfaces is a motherf****r lol. First try though. I can always peel these off and order some new ones haha. The last pic is the old boring decal. "44" is my fave number and high school football jersey number haha :D

I think it looks great. How did you get the bike and car stuck sideways against the wall though? :D
 
I have to agree w my mentor Price Albert about the size of Ducati font on front and that's about it. Otherwise, as far as decals go it looks ok. Just not a decal type whatsoever but understand the reason most members go this route. Looks good.

well, sometimes people may not know who made your bike. The Ducati factory clearly would not find it to be overkill....

Haha thanks. It seems the team goes between "DUCATI" and "Arubi" or something like that. I give it at least 6mos before I get sick of it haha.
 
i love this look on the older 916/998 etc,

for the 199 series i think it's a little overkill but with decals you can chop and change when you feel like it

good luck
 
Sergio, I agree at how difficult it is to not only install decals, but also to get quality alignment. Angles and round shapes can raise heck with alignment from different viewing angles.

The photo angles may be impacting my observations, but with that said:

The "DUCATI" across the top appears to run low to high from left to right (brake to clutch)

The "4" on the right (clutch) side appears to be angled/aligned left of bike centerline.

Quality 1st shot though. :)
 
To me it looks like Chinese knock off fairings. The Ducati decal is as straight as you're lines on polamar mountain. Just my opinion tho, that isn't worth .... lol

I like it, but without the rest of the sticker package, the all red bike makes the sticker kit look out of place. OR is it the sticker makes the all red look out of place?

Full graphics kit will be going on my spare bodywork :)
 
Curious, my high school never gave the Water Boy a number..
Haha jk

All jokes aside I think It looks odd without any other decals..
 
I'm gonna go with"¦.Ducati written three times on the same piece of plastic is a bit much.

NOLA
 
Sergio I have to agree with those that think that the front decal by itself looks awkward...
 
I have to agree with them on the DUCATI logo.

I can't figure out why there is a number like a race bike, but then there are headlights on it. I thought maybe those are headlight decals like the WSBK's run, but then I saw the kickstand.
 
looks terrible - u need to add gaudy stickers all over the bike to tie it into that one area you did....


less is more, unless ur gittin paid to b a billboard..
