Pinstriping 'tats that is! I got these decals from Winners Cycle Graphics, I bought the #4 set. I didn't use all the pieces in the set but I am really happy with the results. They went on easy and look as close to real paint pinstriping as I think is possible. www.winnerscyclegraphics.com/OldSchoolDirectory.htmlAs always, click on the little one to see the biggie pics!     What say the rest of you Dawgs, do you like my Sleek Black Beauty's new decorations? |

Looks great. Can you do a shot of your rear trunk with it open? Just wondering if it's as big as it looks like.

Very nice. Plenty of room on that bodywork to keep the graphics looking classy instead of crowded and busy.

Dennis, I can get you a picture but no, its not as big as you might guess or as big as a Helix trunk. Which is a little disappointing but not critical. I've had 2 quarts of oil and a oil filter in there at once, a bottle of Citron vodka in there by itself and my snow pants fit in there rolled up when I go home in the afternoons.

Thanks, that's what I wondered about. It looked as though it might be almost the same size as the Helix trunk if the taillight housings didn't take up too much room. I've had two 5 lb bags of potatoes, a 3 lb bag of onions, plus a couple bags with several smaller items in each bag, stuffed in behind and on top of them, in my Helix trunk (in addition to the cable, padlock, tirepatch kit, bungee cords, sunglasses, and small tool kit that's always in there). ;D A lot of room in there, even though there isn't a space that is the right shape for something with the dimensions and shape of a 3/4 helmet.  |

Wow! I don't know what a kit like that costs, but it was worth it. It really adds to look and makes the paint job look custom. Good, tasteful choice.

I was disappointed with the size of the Morphous trunk. With my Helix you could fit 2 Gallons of milk or 4 six packs. My Morphous trunk is full of bungy cords and bags to carry stuff on the passenger seat. Or I just use my Burgman which has a huge trunk. |

I was looking at a Burgman this week end and I was concerned that there was no where to install a trunk. There was no where to mount a trunk behind the rear seat back rest. Is there a mounting rack for a trunk?  |

12String, I think every Burgman I've seen has as much trunk space under the seat as your Miata. I can't imagine needing more luggage space. Maybe just one of those semi-rigid trunk bags strapped to the seat if you are 1-up.
I saw some neat Givi (spelling?) bags at a local scooter store the other day. They had several sizes and styles that would strap right to the seat.

Alright, I thought I was missing something.The Burger does have a large under seat trunk.

Wow! Now, that's a hellacious lookin' scoot. I checked out the decal site (and added 'em to my "favorites"!) Just fer everyone's info, the various sets run about $79.00, and for an extra thirty, you can customize the colors -- a cool option! I'll definitely be getting some for my Xingyue/Roadrunner, if it ever gets here!
