Default Custom graphics from AMC instal.

Ordered these vinyl graphics from AMC and they were at my door in 3 days and I live in Canada.

The quality of them are similar to custom wrap kits on a car, these are not stickers but more like vinyl wraps.
They are really thick and seem to be bulletproof, there is a thick layer of clear vinyl over the graphics that seem as though it makes it a lot tougher and scratch resistant.

Installing this graphics kit ruined my life.

I have lost feelings in both my thumbs from rubbing out air bubbles for the last three days.

Very expensive to order, once you get the number plate and rim graphics you are looking at about $300.

This bike is still brand new and looking forward to getting it out on the road real soon.

Does anyone know where to get street foot pegs from that will fit this bike?
Do the 250 Ninja's swap right over?

I am trying to swap out the current ones for more of a street oriented peg that won't chew up my riding shoes.

Looks nice, but for that kinda money you could get a slip on! Go instead of show.

Look closer there is already a full FMF and power bomb header. The graphics were the last thing on my long list of power modifications.

This is my first bike so I kind of went overboard and so far no regrets.

Looks awesome ... Was on the same boat as you a month ago when bike was new but didn't bit the bullet. lost interest on the graphics right after my first ride when I dropped my bike hard on the trail and scratched it real deep. I look at it as battle scar . Gives it personality, off road look lol.

Did you rejet with those bad boys installed? Hows the performance. Hows the low end torque. The high end. Thanks. I'm planning on getting those but I don't know how to rejet.

Looks nice Mike! Looks like a nice clean install . I bet it was tough to get everything straight. .
The $$$ they get for those sticker kits blows my mind, but maybe you have to look at it more like a custom paint job?????????
Bike looks nice.

It looks bad a$$ imho. As far as foot pegs go, maybe take a look at the sf pegs, I think they are rubber coated.
