Thanks fellas, appreciate the kind words. My bike is my only bike, and I put 2500 miles on it this summer and the vinyl is still looking good. I think there are some good repros available, not sure if they'll hold up the same way though, I made my own via a friend. But even the striping on the side of the tank, which is white vinyl over black vinyl, where my legs would rub the most, seems to look as good as hte day I put it on.
What may have helped my result was that it was color coat AND a clear coat, which probably helps to emulate the luster of paint a bit better. Only regret is I wish I buffed it out before applying the decals, but to be honest my powder guy did such a great job, there was no orange peel or any sort of texture...so I got away without it. I could always do it now.... But it's sort of like refinishing floors or painting your house....100x easier if you can do it before you move in (or put the decals on, in this case).
I think that choice is great, by the way. Prismatic will send you sample coupons for free, and they come fast. I recommend seeing it in person. You can see some of those coupons and close up of the results on my sidecovers
