People I am not sure of:
Dericrey
Black 1

Correct this list boyz if you are not in.
So far we are ordering one large skull with piston fists pictured below and one smaller patch that is only for original members that we are still hashing out, stay tuned...

Once I have numbers of interested people, I can inquire about the unit cost...
Here is the Big One!

potential small

Trying to make it bigger ): Sheesh

I am going to need two of both buddy! Got two jackets I wear based on weather! Need to rep on both! I am gonna use the smaller as my left arm patch! :) I'm stoked!

Me too! I am definately in for one large and one small for the arm patch.
Can you let me know the final size of the large patch as I have to measure the space below my speed hump to make sure I am good.

Beast we can do any size, I was thinking 12 inch diameter for the skull and piston patch?

C we are all going left arm with the small patch. The patch tells people you are in the original group of founders and I kinda like that!

12" will be too big for me for sure.
I'd need like an 8" Diameter I'm thinking.

Hi Beast,
I am holding measuring tape as I type this, 8 inch diameter is going to render the skull, too small and the graphics will disappear. I am happy to get one patch 8 inches, but to be honest it really needs to be about 10 to 12 inches.
Let me know beast man!
Wolf

Ok all I can say for these last 2 posts is "that's what she said".

What are the green letters above the location? And didn't we have a skull with zx in one eye and 14 in the other?

Beast just did a mock up on the chalk board, 10 inches should fit on your jacket (if I am wrong we can try and get an 8 inch just for you), but I will emphasize to the group no smaller than 10 inches gents, after that it is just too small.
What do you think Beast?
Wman

Dave 905,
Caroobs has a point, do you mind posting a final large size copy of the patch as we currently want to order it.
Caroobs, hold that thought!
Peace!
Wman

Dave905, Caroobs has a point, can you post a final moc up version we can all see in full size.
Caroobs, good catch!
Wman

Caroobs, good point, I just texted Dave 905 with the request to post the final Mock Up...
Hold tight bro!
Wman

I'm with ya on what patch goes where Wolf! I will need two of the big guys and two of the little guys once finalized. I like the ZX in one eye and 14 in the other. Add a green R to the 14 for me! :))
12" works for me! (That's what she said!)

Whatever you think works wolf.. if I have to overlap the hump a little i will as long as it doesn't look like ass.
If it does... then
Sounds like peeps want to personalize it. I think that will just drive the price up right. We all have to agree on one and that's it. Any other personalizing can be embroidered on after I think.

Hey folks. Wolf has got the right image in his first post. That's the one that received the most votes. 14 in one eye, blank in the other. Most people found it too busy with both eyes filled.

Let wolf get some numbers and then we can determine if one generic patch is required (personalizing done after) or if the printer can personalize at a decent price.

Larger arm patch

Wolfman - "Beast we can do any size, I was thinking 12 inch circumference for the skull and piston patch?"

zx14beast - " 12" will be too big for me for sure. I'd need like an 8" Diameter I'm thinking."

A 12 inch circumference is much smaller than an 8 inch diameter... so Wolf, are we talking circumference or diameter??? Personally, I'd prefer one with a 4-6 inch radius... lol.

* Last updated by: aegisranger on 5/21/2013 @ 4:08 PM *

Boyz, diameter 10 inches at least! I'd prefer 12 but it is up to the Nation...
I can work out the circumference once I put the kids down, but that should clarify things...
Mad Rez to the nation...
Wolf

Diameter 10 inches. 31.4 square inch circumference.

5 inch diameter...

Dave, AWESOME HOMEBOY AWESOME!!!!!!

* Last updated by: Wolfman on 5/21/2013 @ 5:55 PM *

14 inch diameter 12 at smallest....

Put Nasty in for a double dose of that stuff.

I don't really have a jacket I like yet, but its on the list of things to do. I like leather but its expensive to get a good all season leather. Unless someone has a good suggestion. Either way 2 for me.

You guys can keep bitching about size. I'll be happy with whatever I get.

Ah!

Exuse my ignorance, but what does the GTA, ON mean?

IF its not too late, might I suggest something before it goes to press?

Not to offend, and I certinaly don't mean to, but to me, the 14R evokes the mental image of a modern, sleek, almost futuristic, machine, instead of a harley-ish skull.

Maybe have a spinning tire and smoke rolling off of it, as the centerpiece, with ZX14R in the middle. The round shape of the smoking tire would fit well within the framework of the sproket.

Maybe also incorporate four pistons with every other one *coming at you* from a point prespective as if on the compression stroke, the other two far away as on the power stroke. Possibly also put the business end of a firing spark plug as it ignites the mixture. That would make the patch area also seem like the engine's combustion chamber, with a the end of a couple firing spark plugs projecting down from the top end.

THis may be too much to fit in there, but just some ideas I had while reading this great idea you've come up with.

My input is just an idea. And again, no offense meant. Its just that I am also a figure sculptor and seem to overflow with ideas when it comes to cool things like this, I gotta let it out!

ZXMAN64
Absolutely stunning idea, cool on every level. I think you missed your calling as an ad man. At this point in the game it would take a finished scketch\copy to change our current course. ZX if you could submit this idea for us to see it could be considered, but the window is closing ie I'm calling for prices today!

We have been mulling over this idea/design for several weeks, ( I think 3 in total). Everyone on here appreciates collaboration, so no stress - comment is appreciated! I believe our group wanted skulls as we "like em" but also because they rep the badass nature of the bike.

Thoughts boyz?
