numbers,backgrounds,name stickies etc. Who uses them.I've never done anything but put the 8 inch numbers straight onto my plastic number plates. Where do you get yours?Does it take long? Do you get the name stickie on your front number plate?Just wondering what the hot set up is these days for personalizing your dirt scoot.

Decal Works.
http://www.decalmx.com/index2.ihtml

We have used their pre-prints and graphics for the past 5 years.
Always quick service and always a correct order.

The prices are good even though they are not always the cheapest but the stuff lasts and looks great.


Plus they support WWR and a lot of Am stuff all over the country.

I had Factory Effex do up a set for a Suzuki RM-Z250. They came out great, and were easy to install.

We are sponsored by Rev Grafx. They have done nice work for us and the others in our group. Nice people and they know the MX industry. http://www.revgrafx.com/ They are moving from Colorado to Texas, so they are closed until Aug.

+1 here, top notch company all the way.

Pick up on of their installation kits to make it a breeze or just send in your shrouds/ number plates and they will put them on for you!

Ive had some from factory effex, perfect fit, easy to install. Ive also had some from bikegraphix, they look really cool, but their templates were a little off.
Both companies got them to me quickly.

check out www.visionmotocross.com. Their stuff is as good or better than anything else I have ever seen (including decalworks) but the designs also look good. I have been using them for probably 3 years now with no complaints at all.

I've used Decal Works, Factory Backing and, most recently, Dirt Digits. Factory Backing went on the easiest but was the least durable. The Dirt Digits seem to be high quality as do the Decal Works. I run 'TJs Racing' on the front to honor my dad. If you need plastic anyway, I would buy plates from the graphics people and have the graphics applied by them, just to save the hassle.

I have been using Moto Graphx and they work real well. They don't come off unless it's been a non-stop usage. Like practice 4 times a week and racing the whole year. Other than that, they work pretty well, and they can design some sick stuff.

I made the mistake of ordering from these guys. Fit was terrible and customer service was even worse.

I would go with a trusted name like Decal Works, Factory Efexx etc..

As I have said in a recent post. "Factory Backing" from the first phone call, to designing, approving, and having them on the bike, took four days.

Online you design with the staff. You can have it which ever way you want...
~ lil ducks included !

I think most of these companies are about the same these days.

Factory Effects or Decal Works are both top of the line. For easy installation, spray some Windex or soapy water on the number plate and graphics and they will be easy to put in correct position. Then squidgy the moisture out and let dry. It makes the exhaust side easy to apply with no creases or bubbles.

If you want the most artistic stuff go to www.visualconceptsdesignandprint.com

Noah does some of the most artistic stuff out there. From a good fmx look to a more race look his graphics are the best and his design fees are not half of most other guys.

Check out his site he has a few examples.
