I re-did my Kanji on my 2005 with Tapeworks graphics. I know the difference from the left side and the right side. Made the mistake my first time.
I believe the issue is Motor Psycho Grafix did NOT claim their product would OVERLAY the OEM kanji graphics. If their product is used on a blank fairing, either side will work and you would not know the difference. I know this from my first mistake of putting the wrong side to overlay the OEM on my bike. All was going perfect until trying to overlay the word Hayabusa. It hits the long tail of the kanji at a difference spot in the word, BUT either graphic as a whole if NOT OVERLAYED will fit either side and look just fine.
So i see it as two things going wrong here. I went and looked at Motor Psycho Grafix Ebay offering. The seller does not make reference to the fact that his Kanji Set will not OVERLAY the OEM graphics either due to him NOT knowing this or as a deliberate oversite. He also didn't say that it would. I did not see anywhere that you asked the seller if their graphic set Would indeed overlay the OEM. Wrong number 2 is the buyer assumed it would.
I hope both seller and buyer take note and adjust accordingly.
So what do you want me to do with this thread?
On the first generation kanji there is no reason to overlay a new graphic on top of the stock graphic, when the stock graphic can be easily removed. If you were going to purchase a new stock OEM graphic for your bike on a 99-07 you wouldn't overlay the new stock graphic over the top of the old one would you ??? That doesnt make any sense to me, unless I suppose it was a limited, but that is not the case here. I guess I just never considered laying a new custom graphic over the top of an old stock one ???? Makes no sense to me.
I have done my best to resolve the issue and am sending new graphics. We are working on clarifying our listings to state that the new custom graphics do not go on top of the old stock ones.
One last word. Not intended to be placed on top of existing stock graphic..yes..... But, sloppy or not a great looking custom graphic ??? I dont think so ............
Glad you took the time to sign up and post, and you cleared this matter up. You are to be commended in my book.I understand HotDog...but I wasn't referring to only your comments.
Your graphics just shipped, they may be there tomorrow, if not on Thursday. I sent a complete set, not just the new kanji.
Thanks
