    Unfortunately this project has not been given a NO-GO. (At least with the website names). Thanks for the feedback regardless. I may eventually figure something else out that still uses the engine and personal info.


    OK before you get to excited or I start babbling... I have PM'ed SnoSheriff and Chacal for "permission" before a take any "orders". Chacal seemed cool with it, and I just sent the PM to Sno.

    Note1: At this time this is only for a SEW ON NO THREAD BORDER PATCH that is permanently dyed not stitched. The material is suppose to be scissor cut-able and non-fraying.

    Note2: At this time I am currently designing custom patches for my self. My canvas is a 12x17 maximum sheet. I don't expect to 100% fill this. This is why I am CONSIDERING offering space to other members for semi-custom XJ based patches.

    Now for some more info. If you read this post (Custom Patch Ideas) you will get some idea where this project came from and where I ended up for my 1st custom order.

    I'm looking for FEELERS to see how many people would actually want a semi-custom patch added to my canvas. I have a few other design/color/size tweaks since I had my patch made. In theory I could add your personal bike's model/year to your patch. Or it could be left blank.

    Because this is being printed on a borderless canvas I am no longer limited in size. So any reasonable size could be made (but may not always look perfect).

    If you have gotten thru my babble so far, and are actually interested in a patch comment here and fill out the poll question.

    General design comments are still welcome. If you are specific, time permitting I can try to work on your tweaks. That being said, if I get overwhelmed I won't be able to tweak a sample for everyone.

    FYI: Oval versions of the two pictures I showed would be relatively easy to do as well.

    Note 3: REMINDER AT THIS TIME, THIS IS FOR CUSTOM PATCHES. I don't have a source for CHEAP 1-off decals. I wish I did...

    Note 4: Here is a test layout to show you what I mean but "extra space" on my canvas order. (I haven't finalized what I'm actually ordering so don't worry about limited space. I'd order multiple canvases if necessary).

    Note 5: I don't have a final PRICE in mind. That would depend on how many others actually want patches and how much "work" this turns into. LOL

    Again, if you have suggestions or requests BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE.

    I can easily change the year/CC/Name

    ie. 1981 Yamaha XJ750(??) SECA

    If no name designation I could toss in a mag wheel or Yamaha logo or maybe your name.

    Open to other ideas as well - be creative (within reason)

    Robert you could have Yamaha and all 3 model numbers you currently have listed as a specific example.

    I don't do patches but I might be interested in using the design as a tramp stamp tattoo on my current "Night Rider" :twisted:
