So... I just found out that my brother is having a baby. My wife has me now wandering around kids stores all the time and I have been looking at all the different "stride riders" or bikes without pedals they have these days. When I was young you just had to crash with no training wheels to learn. But today these look a great way to get kids used to balancing on two wheels from a young age.
Anyways, I came across this "Kinder Feets" bike and liked the shape of the flat wood. I thought damn, you could make a graphics kit for this thing to make it look like a motocross bike.
So many hours later this is the result of my home grown decal kit. Let me know what you guys thing.
I still need to do a rear fender decal behind the seat. I was debating putting renthal grips on it.. But my wife claims the foam ones are designed to keep the kid from impaling themselves so suggested we leave them. I would also love to build a mini works stand for it to sit on.
I think it turned out pretty good. I already have a request to build a Yamaha for another friend who has a young one.
Now that I have all the shapes and designs in the computer if someone else wanted a decal kit, it is all still a one off, so I can do custom name / numbers and it takes quite a bit of time but wouldn't be as bad.
Let me know your thoughts.

The Shop

Below is no front fender.
It does look kinda weird because I had modify and bend some proportions to make the swing arms, foot pegs, and forks line up.
This is the one she had:
