Reusable Graphics - What is this stuff!?!

Reusable motorcycle graphics? That sounds different!

Well, it is!

Until now, all motorcycle graphics have been virtually permanent. Once you've applied them they are almost impossible to change. They either leave an adhesive mess or are destroyed during removal. But, no longer!

We design and manufacture unique motorcycle graphics that are easy to apply, durable, long lasting, and best of all, they peel off when you're ready for a change--without adhesives or magnets.

Reusable & Removable!

The beauty of our graphics is not only in the designs; you can apply them and peel them off as many times as you like. You no longer have to make that agonizing decision of how you want your bike to permanently look. Have fun! With our graphics you could change the look of your bike every time you ride, or leave them on all season long! Cyclegraphics are printed with durable colorfast, UV resistant outdoor inks and will retain their ability to adhere to surfaces like gas tanks, side covers, fenders and fairings, for season after season. Cyclegraphics adhere to any smooth surface that is not subject to engine heat. Rain or shine, wind or waxing, they stay on until you want them off!

Easy On / Easy Off!

We print our graphics on vinyl that has been treated with special plastisizers to greatly enhance its clinging properties. That's what gives them the ability to adhere to any smooth surface of your bike. Cyclegraphics have been tested to adhere in wind speeds in excess of 150mph. By using our easy application method, we guarantee they will not come off... until you're ready to change or reposition them. Simply peel up a corner and the graphic peels off without leaving anything behind! And... when you're ready to reuse them, wash 'em off and follow these instructions and they're right back on!

Cyclegraphics Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can you make a custom graphic, OEM replacement graphic or a graphic in different colors than I see in the website/catalog?

We are not able to produce custom graphics or custom colors. The patented material Cyclegraphics are made from is very difficult to print on. With each production run we throw away a large number of graphic sheets simply setting up the color registrations on the presses. The cost of this waste prohibits us from running small custom projects. However, we do like to hear your suggestions.

We also do not make OEM graphics. Manufacturers like HD charge extreme licensing fees for reproducing their logos and graphics. We have chosen not to license other company's graphics at this time.

Can Cyclegraphics be clear coated over to make them permanent?

We do not guarantee our graphics if they are clear coated over. We intend them to be reusable. But, customers have written to us explaining that they have clear coated over our graphics using a clear coat that is compatible with vinyl. They write that they first roughen up the paint surface and spray on a light clear coat, then when it tacks up, they install the graphic. Several layers of clear coat over the top complete the process. Check with your painter and test a sample of the graphic before you proceed. Keep in mind, that our graphics are not returnable if they have been altered in any way.

Will they fit my bike?

Cyclegraphics are not made for specific bikes. They are designed to fit the smooth and painted areas of any bike.

Are Cyclegraphics opaque? Will they hide my existing decal?

Yes. They will adhere to your existing clear coated decal and its colors will not be visible through the Cyclegraphic.

How do they stay on?

We use a patented vinyl material that, when heated with a hair dryer, acts like millions of tiny suction cups. It stays soft and supple for more than two years, allowing it to be reused over and over by following the simple installation instructions that come with each kit.

How do Cyclegraphics react to polish/wax?

Cyclegraphics should be installed on a wax-free surface or one that has not been waxed within 14 days. After the graphic has been properly installed we do recommend that it be waxed over. Waxing will help protect and prolong the life of the Cyclegraphic. When waxing, wipe from the center of the graphic out away from the edges to avoid forcing wax under the graphic.

Can I wash and wax my bike with the Cyclegraphics still on?

Yes. After the Cyclegraphics are applied, you can hand wash your bike by wiping away from the edges no water is forced under the graphic. However, intense pressure washing is definitely not recommended because it may lift the Cyclegraphics and require you to reinstall them wwhen dry.

Can you overlap the graphics?

Yes, our graphics will adhere to each other as well as they do your bike's surface, so flames can be twisted and layered, cards can be overlapped and designs be ganged up to cover large areas like front fairings or even on cars and trucks.

Will your graphics work on cars and trucks?

Yes, our graphics will adhere to any clean, shiny surface including cars and trucks. Many of our designs work well on cars and trucks, like all of our flag series, Flames and Emblem Covers.

Will Cyclegraphics damage my paint?

No. The patented vinyl that Cyclegraphics are made of is totally inert and will not react with paint, metal, glass or plastics. It will however, react with fresh wax, so it is important not to install Cyclegraphics on a paint finish that has been waxed within 14 days. But, for the best results, we recommend that you strip the wax with a strong detergent (not soap) or a cleaner with ammonia in it before installing Cyclegraphics.

What if gasoline gets on my Cyclegraphics?

Some care should be taken not to get gasoline on Cyclegraphics, but they can withstand limited exposure to it. It should be wiped off as soon as possible and then rewaxed.
