Had some time to come up with something a bit nicer for bike graphics over the weekend. Printed, laminated and cut them on Monday and installed them, to me, it looks much better than the first version I did.

[Linked Image from kolohe.net]

I looked through dozens of color schemes that the XT's had over the years and decided that the blue swooshy-type graphic looked pretty nice. Also liked the metallic blue color that the newer bikes have, so came up with my version of it with a fade from met. blue to met. black over the two panels on each side, with a met. medium silver accent to add some depth, then just found a nice "XT" logo from a Yamaha XT-X (not sure what that is) and modified to fit the side panels.

Never been a fan of the pink and blue colors the bike originally wore! For a '92, it sure looks much newer than it really is now. Next is to get those fork boots replaced with either blue or black ones!!!

What? Don't care for pink and blue decals? LOL! I hear ya!!! Any sign shop or vehicle wrap shop can produce decals for your bike with whatever colors you like, I just went with the Yammy colors the '00s bikes had. Looks newer than it is and definitely not outdated with the pink colors.

If you find a good shop to do the work for you, ask them if they'll take some money off if you give them an eps file with "cut-contour" lines. If they do, I'll send ya my file! They'll have to edit it a bit since I have a different fuel tank, but the side plastics should be pretty close since yours is a '92 also.
