Default Moto-StyleMX graphics!

Well, I've been beating on this poor bike for several years now and it shows. In fact, I bought a 06 EC300 earlier this year to rebuild, and it was a bit of a wake up call when I took it apart and it was in nicer condition than my 2013 that was in new condition when I bought it .

Anyhow, I figured it was time to do a graphics kit and replace a few of the plastic pieces. I picked a kit from Moto-StyleMX and contacted them about making a few small changes. They said. I problem, and didn't charge anything additional for them. The kit is high quality and I noticed a few big things that I liked better than the other big name graphics.

One is that the glue has a pattern on the back. Similar to 3M Di Noc. This makes it much easier to apply without getting as many air bubbles.

The second thing I noticed was that they didn't seem to scratch as easily as as some of the others as you rub the graphics onto the plastic. I've seen some of them leave scratches just from using my hand. Small and slight. But scratched nonetheless.

Anyway. Quality is awesome and customer service was awesome. On mine I changed "Pirelli" to "Maxxis" and "Pivot Works" to "FMF". I didn't install the front fender/air box/subframe/swinger graphics.

I've dealt with them before as well. Would second the great customer service and quality kits!

Your bikes looking pretty clean Shang! Makes my 2013 look like a bucket.

Thanks guys! Don't look too close. I'm in a replacement clutch cover and the bottom side of my swing arm is trashed. My linkage guard is also worn all the way through. The lower frame rails are dented pretty good as well. My left radiator looks like it's been run over by a truck.

But it all still works and I had fun doing it!

Thanks! The headlight is a LED flood light for a truck. I designed a housing for it to fit in the factory location and had a friend 3D print it for me.

If you had one printed, can you print another? You know, just curious...

I absolutely could. I used a friends printer and availability is an issue as he keeps it fairly busy. This was a larger print job and I'd estimate about $25 to $30 in materials. I had him print it solid.

Here is the light I used. (I added the yellow film) it is a flush mount backup light off amazon I think.



Here is my rendering.



Light mounted.







I did have to cut the heat sink shorter on the back of the light to clear the head tube on the frame. It's not a great light pattern but it's much brighter than the stock light. I recently added this as well so that I can extend our short days a little.

That's pretty dang cool. I found the light right here, only $18 for two! I'm going to ask around to see if anyone around here has a 3D printer, and if so, would you mind sharing the file?

Heck, I might just buy the lights and figure out some Redneckistan mounting options. I can render something up in aluminum with a hacksaw, bench vise, and a rat tail fie.
