Would you use vynil decals to chage the look of your bike?

I am thinking about it since i cant afford to have the bike painted like i want.

Why not, they're fairly easy to apply and easily removed if needed. And they can look good as well. So why not? Try it, if you don't like it, toss them.

I dont have any particular design in mind just yet was just wondering if i would be looked down upon using vinyl as apposed to paint.

I use to be into the tuner cars and vinyl was heavily used there just wondering if anyone as used em on the bike.

Absolutely. But then, I'm in the business.

Same stuff they use on cars (and even motorcycles) from the factory. If you don't like them, you can take them off.

I had our club logo put on the front of my bike in vinyl, then a clear bra put over it. It came out very nice.
