Default Raccoon Mask for the 600RR (UPDATE 3-17-07)

UPDATE........A write up for the "Raccoon Mask" is now online here:

https://cbrforum.com/m_252336/tm.htm

__________________________________________________ _______________________

WOULD YOU BUY A KIT IF IT WAS OFFERED?

Alright, I've designed a front end mask for the 600RR dubbed the "Raccoon Mask". The inspiration was the 1000RR, but I did tweak it up quite a bit to give it a more aggressive appearance.

Question is.......I was thinking about having these made to sell. Before I do, would anyone here consider buying one? Of course, they would be made out of high-quality vinyl, pre-cut for the 05-06 600RR (one-piece), multiple colors, and would go for the $60-$80 or so range (unless I got a bitchin deal on the vinyl.)

Any takers? Call it "pre-market" testing if you will, here's some pictures of what it would look like. My bike is going to be the test mule:

It's sticky-backed vinyl that you peel off. You would use soapy-water to spray all over the painted surface, then you would press on the vinyl. Once you have it layed out correctly, you would press and smooth it. By pressing it, you would squeeze out the soapy-water, allowing the adhesive to make contact with the vinyl making a really smooth and finished bond.

The turnsignal lens are clear (but maintain the factory turnsignal housing). The bulbs are Sylvannia SilverStar bulbs. (Any Autozone, Orielly, Checker, etc. carries them). The bulbs have a blueish-green mirrored finish on them, but when lit, they light up amber. Thus, they are 100% DOT approved, so they are perfectly legal. I like them, but looking at some LED's now.

To answer you and MisterBasket:

Yeah, I don't know what that would look like on a tribal bike. I'll mess around with it and see if I can come up with a "Tribal Raccoon Mask". I'll get pictures of these up to give you guys an idea of what it looks like real soon.
