CA 81 355 8=/866-07 08 wvvvv.factoryeffe x.colT1 Made To Order Factory Effex has quite a reputation In the motorcycle graphics industry. It provides graphics to such teams as Chevy Trucks Kawasaki, Blackfoot Honda, Shogun Yamaha, Star Racing, and the new M oto Sport Outlet Honda and Tamer Honda teams. In addi tion, the company offers plenty of attracn ve. neutral graphics . When we were looking for some custom graphIcs for our MX and off-road test bikes, Factory Effex let us know nght away it could do whatever we could imagine. We e-mailed over a couple of diqrta! Images of our company logos, and it was only a matte r of a day or so before it came back with the designs you see below - actually, it came back With three front-fender-sticker designs and swingarm desiqns. and these were w hat we chose. The graphics are thick and sturdy while still lookinq sharp and shiny on the machine. All of the beiqe on the sucker sheets is actually clear, w hich makes for a very clean look . The sw ingarm stickers made for us (righ t) are a generic shape and size, so as to fit every model of bike we test wit hout much fuss, and the front-fender decals are built much the same way, FX says it can.do brand -specrfic sizes and shapes as well , so If you have a KTM dealer that you 'd like to make fender and swingarm stickers for, you can have them made to fit only KTM s, for example. We were ex tremely happy wi th the design and present ation of our logos, and once on th e bik es the sti ckers definitely gIve our test machin es a more professional look . If that' s what you're looking for, don 't hesitate to give Fact ory Effex a ring . Steve Cox 70 NOVEMBER 26. 2003 c U a ... n _ .. 8;
