Title: 2018 XC bike update. Could use some opinions on graphics/plastics
Post by: Burns363R on February 27, 2018, 09:47:38 AM
Im doing some updating to the 2018 XC bike instead of my usual full overhaul.  I have already purchased the graphics below, I was planning on putting them on White Full Bore plastics.  But some things have changed.

I may have come into a set of my signature silver full bores that are full fender that i will be able to run on my XC bike.   The question is will the color scheme look any good on my Silver plastics blue frame, or should i start completely over on graphics?

Here are the current silver fullbores on my MX bike.  I could match these graphics if i wanted to start over and buy new graphics.

i think it will be a nice look.  the blues will work well with the silver.  it will have an arctic look.

I think the graphics will look good on Silver Fullbores.

Come on you guys are gonna make me be the only asshole...... :D

I think they'll look much better on the white plastics. There's too much white in the graphics and I definitely think they'll end up looking like "stickers" as opposed to painted on graphics. They won't necessarily blend with the silver

Love the color / graphic scheme on the MX bike @Burns363R!  If you pick up another set of silver fenders, then I think removing some of the white on the XC graphics would be best.

Thanks Douglas!


So for those nay sayers.  Do you think if I duplicate my MX graphics on the XC bike, will that look good?

I personally like the white Fullbores vs gray.

You asked so I'll give my opinion:  Both will look great!  I do think I like the white best, but I always prefer a white canvas. However, the wheels on the blue quad must go.

Again, my .02

I've never been a huge fan of the silver, but your previous setup looked great.  That being said, I'd choose the white plastic...but I'm wishing I had white, as I currently ride red full bore plastic.  All of the anodized blue I'm picking up would look better with white.  1 more vote for white.

I like that idea.  Maybe experiment with throwing in a little more black in the graphics.

The silver plastics could definitely work, but IMO you'll have to change the amount of white in the graphics to something darker. Like a silver/grey/black

Ya I think new graphics are defiantly the better choice, but I already have these printed.  Well see if I put them on or wait to print a new set.

The new full bores showed up tonight.  They are not the silver i was expecting.  But honestly i think it will work pretty nice with my build.  I think that the lighter silver will even work with the graphics.  So here goes nothing.

Also in person the light blue isnt so light in the graphics.  Its considerably darker.

Wow I love that silver. IMO it looks way better than the darker shade.

That's gonna look killer

If I didn't have a brand new candy blue Fourwerx hood for Maier/OEM plastics then I think i'd buy a set of these Fullbore plastics. They look awesome.

Do you know what color was used on the frame?  Besides the obvious “blue”...
