Oil tank embellisher?

[Justin Wall]

This is an idea i'm playing with for my side panels. Hope me putting the US flag on a British bike doesn't offend anyone. It looks a lot better in 3D.. When I'm done I will post the finished product.

This is my new one just needs paint

Yeah, been thinking about something like that myself, the text in the center is a glued-on piece of plastic. Replacing it with another nicely done piece should look pretty factory-ish.

I designed mine in a 3D software and had it 3D printed. It worked great and I can make it say or look however I want. My bike is camo and orange so I thought Misfit was a good name.

Yeah, 3D printing is a really intriguing idea. You get that raised 3D effect on the text and not just a flat decal. Make sure to post the finished result too.

Will do.

Sorry the pic sucks. General idea though.

That's awesome looking. It's not stock, but it is extremely "clean". I've been looking at Shapeways.com about making a 2300 cc embellisher for mine, price should stay pretty low since it's not a complex piece. Probably under $10. Spent a half hour in Tinkercad and came up with this, still a work in progress...




Also tried it with cubic inches:

Cool. I love personalizing my bike. One of a kind is the only way to go.

Do you have any other orange accents on your bike?
