Joe Frickin' Friday Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Has anyone used something like this on their bike? http://www.autotrimdesign.net/Graphic_Kit_2_BMW_R_1200_RT_Motorcycle.asp http://www.autotrimdesign.net/Graphic_Kit_1_BMW_R_1200_RT_Motorcycle.asp They come in a variety of colors and finishes. I haven't seen an RT out there that was decked out exactly like that. Farkling an RT purely for style seems to be a rare thing, at least among the bikes I see at BMWST events. If people do put big swaths of color on their bikes, it's usually one of Effbee's reflective case cover kits. As BMW's oilhead sidecases used to be black plastic, the black stickers blended in during the daytime insted of standing out; it was only at nighttime when they got lit up by a car's headlights that their functionality came into play.

Heyfrank Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I just installed the kit # 2 on my 07 Rt. The picture you see on web site is for a 2010 Rt. I have a silver bike and I really like the look. Not going into details here but you will need to trim some off at front part among other things. If you decide to do it PM me for long story. Do not rely on instructions. It does give it a custom look. Link to comment
lkchris Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Allen Arkin was in some movie that featured flame decals on a 7-series BMW. Link to comment
mwsR1200RT Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm looking at that gouge on my fairing and have to say I am intrigued... But leaning towards something much subtler than they show. Like a light charcoal on silver bike. What color did you go with, Heyfrank? Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I went with the charcoal metallic. As it happen it matches the color of that part of fairing of trim on the bike really nice which brakes up the silver and looks really nice. I took pictures of it but I am having trouble posting them. Wife may help because I am not computer friendly. I will be at death valley ride in November it you wish to see if pictures don't take. Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I and wife tried to post pictures. Did not work. Link to comment

BFish Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 doesn't appeal to me, but it's not bad looking. anyway, i'd f%$k it up installing myself. Link to comment
doc47 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Years ago I went to an auto paint outfit in Edmunds, WA, and they made some very nice checkerboard stick-ons plus a name for my R1100RT, Marlene Dietrich. The graphics were reflective black. I think the whole bit was $60. I'd think most places could easily do this to your own specs. Link to comment
