So ive been kicking around trying to get this done, and i think ive finally come up with 3 different faces. ill be running tach only, and i will have a bunch of extras if any one is interested. just want to get a feel for how this would be received before i get em printed. Any input is appreciated... im not sure if this is copyright infringement or not... but whacha think? i think im going with the one on the bottom, but still on the fence there.

that bottom one looks good. the other 2 appear a bit cluttered
(hope thats a word).

I think if you repositioned the right one a little it would work. Get her right on top of the Honda and a little more to the right. I'm a brunette kind of guy though.

Take the one on the right, stand her on her head, and then spread her legs so that one foot is at 6,000 RPM and the other at 12,000 and I think you'll have it just about right.

I'm a sucker for pinup girls so they all work.

What's even better is my wife said those look good as well

Love the bottom one!

Bottom one here too. Maybe move her to the left a little and then it will appear she is pointing at "Honda"!

The bottom one is the 'A' choice. For the one on the right, try flipping the girl so her back is to the right and reposition her so her legs are where the Honda logo is. It should end up balanced out like the bottom one. Also, I like the font on the bottom one better.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input!Ya there are some placement issues, the screws that hold the face on kinda get in the way. gotta print them on paper again and check that. Fonts have been a tough decision too, ive been through thousands looking for just the right one. these are the 2 i settled with for now... i'd be more than happy to set some of these up for folk, it'll take a while since im no pro, and have little free time to begin with! ill get working on a speedo face and keep you guys posted...

is there anyone else who designs these custom and can send the file for my gal in town to print for me to use on my bikes?
i like hednut's designs as well.

domer · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2010, 09:07:03 AM »

Anti-Johnny · « **Reply #12 on:** November 12, 2010, 12:54:11 PM »

BOTTOM!!

weekend_junkie · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2010, 01:54:17 PM »

Right is favorite pic and should definitely try to flip it for the mirror image. Bottom does fit nice. Personally, I'd get rid of the numbers. ha!

domer · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2010, 02:00:06 PM »

obviously not perfect, but something like this?

i gotta try and find the stock font, and of course rotate it to the stock position... and clean it up... and.... you get the point. im far from a pro at this kinda #$%*, so if you got some ideas toss em my way! hopefully i can get working on the ticks for the speedo this weekend (hardest part imo). although if it stays as nice as it is here, ill be riding instead

How can you keep your eyes on the road with that faces??

brandEn · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2010, 05:11:04 PM »

I like them all but I would go with the bottom one for both guages and mirror images of each other.

tango911 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 12, 2010, 06:28:56 PM »

theres a thread somewhere , where a dude did a plate that looks as good as an original. id like to get that template as well.

Great idea.

Bottom one is the best, might need to be a red-head though.

the technological J · « **Reply #23 on:** November 12, 2010, 08:24:30 PM »

i agree bottom one also....... but you should make the needle her leg
