I know Carpy has several CB750 shirts, but does anyone know where to obtain CB550 shirts?

As the engine (externally) looks the same, don't forget us 500 boys!

If you go to http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/ you can design your own shirt.  You can even make it available for other folks to buy.

Ok, anyone got any specific images they'd like me to do? How about front or back text?

All profits from the sale of the shirts will go to The Geek Group www.thegeekgroup.org it's a school I own that teaches kids about science and technology.

just thinkin here...


"Honda" across the back  and the Honda wing on the chest

the side covers "on the bike"  have a nice way of displaying (cb650 Custom" 
maybe something like that for an iron on patch would be cool.


just a couple ideas.

Glad you said that Chris - "Iron On" = "Iron Off" in my experience!

I bought one of Glenn's originals and it's still in excellent condition (that's because it's made from decent (ie not cheap) cotton.

500 or 550 don't mind.

Carpy's engine t-shirts look cool so I'd settle on a 500/550 version of that.
Club logo on the back?

I'd buy a couple...If you can make em black w/ red lettering!  That would look slick.  I vote for the SOHC4 club logo on the back, nice and big,  then "Honda CB500/550" on the top in front with a nice pic of the bike below it.  Or a cool, artist's rendering of one.  Mabey I'll draw somethin up!

Where do I find a club logo?

Who do I talk to for obtaining legal permission to use it?

Ask Glenn!  It's the club's logo and I guess as long as you are not thinking of a commercial operation it should be OK.

Fairly limited market though so be careful!

I talked to the boss and he says it's cool. All proceeds will be donated to the forums here and to The Geek Group (www.thegeekgroup.org) a school I own that teaches kids about science and technology. Because of the limited run I may sell them on cafepress or somthing like that. It'll take me a couple weeks to do image design and prepress work but I think I can whip up not only shirts, but some other goodies as well :) We do a lot of stuff like this for the Group and it's not a big deal for me to put a couple people in my art dept on making 550 logos and suchlike for interesting shirts, stickers, hats, etc.

Whats the status on the shirts and stuff? How is the design coming?  Any pictures you can show? Looking forward to wearing one proudly! Dr. Mark
