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

hi, never seen any but with a bit of people pressure maybe carpy or someone may run some off? $:-\$

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.

Now that's slick, now I know what I'm going to do with my personal feelings slogan re: carbs

Chrisboden · « **Reply #5 on:** April 28, 2005, 08:40:26 AM »

They would have to be v-e-r-y desperate!

Gordon · « **Reply #9 on:** April 28, 2005, 03:18:17 PM »

I'd be interested in a shirt!

Kixx007 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2005, 03:31:15 PM »

I'd buy a shirt.

SCJIM · « **Reply #11 on:** April 29, 2005, 06:28:26 PM »

to buy or not to buy...

...that is the question.

count me in

Chrisboden · « **Reply #12 on:** April 30, 2005, 08:26:51 AM »

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.

SCJIM · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2005, 11:22:07 AM »

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.

Chrisboden · « **Reply #14 on:** April 30, 2005, 04:37:58 PM »

I'll have these professionally screen printed, no iron-on's here

pmpski_1 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2005, 09:21:34 PM »

I'd buy a couple.

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #16 on:** April 30, 2005, 11:50:46 PM »

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?

MetalHead550 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 01, 2005, 07:56:38 AM »

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!

Chrisboden · « **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2005, 09:47:05 AM »

Where do I find a club logo?

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

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #19 on:** May 01, 2005, 11:13:15 AM »

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!

Chrisboden · « **Reply #20 on:** May 04, 2005, 02:32:57 PM »

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.

keep us posted with your progress please

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

I'm in the middle of a $50k fundraising campaign for us to buy our new building. Once I'm done with all this I'll have some time to play on making shirt designs, it's coming

MetalHead550 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 19, 2005, 06:28:06 PM »

Thats awesome Chris! We'll all be grateful I'm sure. I'll be watchin!

MetalHead550 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 29, 2005, 08:19:23 AM »

Any updates Chris? I found a cool artists rendering of a bike very simular to an SOHC/4. While not entirely accurate you get the general idea. Check it out! Ive also included my personal artistic rendering which took me hours to complete. Hope you like it.

DrMark · « **Reply #31 on:** August 29, 2005, 09:16:16 AM »

Hello Chris...any updates on the production of the CB550 Shirts? I know you said after the fund-raiser you were working on was completed.

Chris Liston · « **Reply #32 on:** August 29, 2005, 11:53:20 AM »

Count me in for some 550 shirts too.

GeoffT · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2005, 12:41:41 AM »

Count me in as well for the T's. Can't decide which of Metalheads two designs is best.

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #34 on:** August 30, 2005, 01:03:23 AM »
