I will sell you all the templates you need for all dirt bikes from 1969 to the present.

Along with the templates, I will also be sending you a check for $97,000. Please cash this check and keep a small fee ($5000) for yourself, and send the remaining $92,000 back to me with the money for the templates.

My mailing address is in Nigeria, I hope that isn't any problem for you.

Don't pay any attention to these assholes. Welcome to Motodrive.
Try these guys for templates, this is the website to their main business. They don't have one for their graphics co yet but if you click on project gallery link there are some pictures of bikes they've done. Since you're in another country they might be willing to sell you the files.

See, how hard was that. If people don't stop being mean to new members of this board pretty soon we will get a bad reputation.
Here a picture of a bunny.

I don't really think your gonna have much luck here. It's kinda like asking an architect for a copy of all the plans he uses for his various homes.

You might just have to do it the hard may. Get yourself some low-tac vinyl or tranfer tape and apply it to the plastic areas. You can even piece it together with some paper and tape. Just make sure you get it taped down in some for or another. Take a pencil and trace out all of the lines and contours where the die-cut should be. Remove the paper and go over your lines with a dark pen as clean as you can. Pin it up on the wall, take a digital picture of it, and then bring it into illustrator and vectorize all the lines and curves yourself.

This is pretty much how the big hitters have to do it and I don't really see any of them handing the competition the files on a platter for any small amount of cash.

An alternative method is to just go buy a graphics kit and scan or take the picture of it, then pack it back up and return it to the store/dealer. I know the big hitters also use this method, while not returning it. What do they care if they invest $75 in order to get what they need.

Anyone use shelf paper for their graphics? I found a really nice flower arrangement that I think will go really well with Yamaha blue.

Yeah, but it's so cheap to make bike graphics that you're rolling in dough from all the excess profits you're milking from poor, unsuspecting bike owners.

jonscraft, check your PMs.

Believe it or not, companies will sell you their templates. Lots of the companies you know buy their templates from other graphics folks.
