KTM's have the most awkward shrouds and rear plates to put graphics on.
I did a bit of gooning also. Of course Kyle can't manage to get any viddy's or pics of when I was flat tracking around every corner and pissing some kid on an RMZ off. It was too funny. He also never got any pics of the corner at the back. 3rd gear wide into a long 4th gear sand straight... Soooooooo fun if you stand all the way around it.
Western BC <3 ahahah I take it for granted. I really enjoy riding on the mountains though. Some of the best/most technical bush riding in the world is around here. Its awesome!

YZ's have the worst front plates. Why did they feel the need to put all those angles there? Took me forever to get mine to lay down on the plastic and then forever again to get all the bubbles out.

You think thats hard? Try installing/cutting window tint in the back window of a car without precut shapes. I'm not sure about MX graphics but window tint is much easier to apply when wet then dry since you can slide it around instead of having to take it off. Then you can just let it air dry or use a heat gun but you better make sure its completely dry or the corners could come up if you ride too early. No bubbles you work from the middle to outside with a plastic card thingy.

I've watched people do tint without templates. I'll pass on that. I used the application fluid, but the backgrounds are so thick and stiff it had to dry pretty much completely before it would adhere strongly enough to not pull itself back off the plastic down there where the angles are. Then I had to squeegee it for most of the afternoon to remove all the damn bubbles.

Yeah i forgot how thick some of those graphics are much easier on thin stuff but they are not as durable. Anything curved or angled = rage
