MERICA Graphics Kit for EXC

almost perfect!

Posted by mike on Feb 13th 2019

2004 ktm exc 250 I never give a perfect review, EVERYTHING has room for improvement. That being said, the quality if these graphics is unmatched! I still lined the edges with clear nail polish, but I don't think these will ever come unstuck. They're super thick, images are incredibly clear and crisp, and on top of that, they look bad ass, because Merica. They were easy to apply, no issues with bubbling at all, and again, they are absolutely awesome looking! My complaints are many but small: the decal for the front plate is a generic shape and doesnt follow the shape for my bike. The rim protectors could be a bit wider, by about 3/8 inch. The front rim protector was about 1/2 inch too long, and the rear about 1/4 too short, and the pattern lines dont match up between pieces. The American flag pattern is awesome, but it's a LOT of blue and almost no red. The pre cut holes on the rear fender sides dont line up well and they're pretty decently offset. The fork protectors dont line up great and I had to trim a bit, and the swingarm decals are basically just white space. As a disclaimer, I work on a finish grade crew as a heavy equipment operator, and every day I'm dealing with 1/100s of a foot, so I'm a massive perfectionist by nature. Overall, I DEFINITELY recommend this decal set, and I would definitely buy it again if I get another bike, but theres a few small changes in would like to see.

really happy with the quality of the graphics. They are super thick and fit consistently on all the plastics. Now just need to see how the hold up to the trails, branches, rocks etc.
