steve hislop rep?

[Spike16]

yeh thats what i though smev, i can make them in product design next term on the laser cutter, i can use some white translucent acrylic with black translucent parts of the number 1's (that way the lights can still be on and visible, meaning im still visible to the blind tw@ts driving cars!!!), i think the front number board wont go on until september ish

ok pannels should be coming back this weekend from painters, then i can get onto a graphics company (probs image works) about making all the graphics and some number boards, I love it when a plan comes together

also what are your thoughts on replacing the HONDA sign on the H piece with HIZZY, or Hislop? might be a nice little touch (and gve some people a clue to what scheme the bike is)

Well lets be honest here.

If the moron looking at it doesnt know its a Hislop rep, then who the hell is Hizzy?

[Spike16]

yeh well you do get a load of idiots who dont recognise anything unless its repsol or rizzla!!!!

[Psychosomatic88]

So why worry if they are an idiot. My bike confuses most when they see it, even if they do know bikes. If im going to start explaining my paint job/mods/make/model etc etc Then I need some more fairings because there aint enough to write it all down on.

If its going to be a Hislop then rep copy it extactly as his is, or its not a commerative rep, its tasteless pile of tat. Leave it Honda Spike, or forever be confused as a typical moronic straight liner.

[Spike16]

what do you mean copy it exactly? iv been in touch with image works today and there designing all the graphics including the front and rear number boards but the front may not go on for a while (until i can make the number board head light covers) o and it wont have gold wheels for at least a couple of mounths so it wont be exact until then anyway

[Psychosomatic88]

Well if you did put Hizzy on it, I think most people would agree with me here, that it would look like you chav cult crap, such as when people couldnt afford 'Von Dutch' so had cheap copies 'van Clutch' and 'Tommy hilfinger' you know?

Honda is nice, but its your bike afterall. It will look better at bike meets as Honda. People who know who steve hislop is, know the colours of the bike he rides. They wont need reminding of his name. Just trying to help :D

[Spike16]

ok point taken, honda stays!!! il post some pic's as soon as i get the pannels back

[Psychosomatic88]

Good man :D

You know it makes sense

[Spike16]

ok advice needed, which stickers do i go for out of the hislop rep as the belly pan is not big enough to get all the sponsor stickers on, I was thinking on not haveing the michelin man and going for the hrc logo at the white/dark blue border bit like in this pic

also the rvf is being made into vfr bit in the ame colours and style but the image works, I am going fo rhte red honda logo, silkolene and possible the michelin print bellow, what else should I do?

Does anyone have a silouete file of an nc30 i could photo shop to show exactly what i want were etc to send to the image works as there trying hard but often get confused, bless em'
