Default I Need Helping Finding This

Okay I have pretty much been in love with the Icon Decay series of products since i fist saw it. I have the Icon Hooligan Decay Jacket and i've been saving for the Helmet to match. But i've always wanted my bike to match the gear as well. Not just the same color but actually match. And this is what i want. Firstly i need to find this Vinyl Decal so i can accomplish this. If anyone has any idea where i may be able to order this please let me know. I am seriously CRAZY about this set up lol.



This is my jacket and the helmet to match. Like i said already got the jacket just need the Helmet and Decal so i can finish this lol. Hoping to find a cheaper helmet on ebay or something, haven't really looked due to a financial crunch recently. aka new bike lol.

why is that? because its expensive? or do you think its cheap? cause im pretty sure its quality shit. And i have wrecked with this jacket once before and the jacket looks brand new still, not even a scratch the material is great quality.

Do you have any resources to this claim? As much as people like to poo-poo on Icon gear, I have yet to hear any real-life story where Icon gear didn't hold up in a wreck.

Have you seen anyone in racing wear Icon gear? No, but you sure as hell see stunters wear it. Not only that, you'd look like a douchebag in their ghey designs.

Held up in wreck at the track @ 60mph.. My A-Star boots let me down tho - severely sprained my ankle.. But no rash or any other bruises. I did tumble a bit too.

I've seen quite a bit of Icon gear fall apart pretty badly in street crashes down here. Especially the textile crap. It seems to be fashion before function...

That's pretty true of most textiles though. Meshes and Textiles are pretty much 1 use equipment. Leather is better.

Well from my personal experience with the Icon Hooligan Decay jacket it is top notch. True its not a leather jacket and yea it might not last in a real bad crash but i have no doubt it will keep me safe in the wreck. Like i said befor i have wrecked in this jacket once before. I was on a downhill grade going about 45. I had new Michelin Pilot Activ tires on the Hyo and i had ridden almost 500 miles before attempting the curves to remove the coating on the tires but they were still slick and it wasnt gripping. I low sided slid on my back and rolled over onto my stomach then got up. Nothing happened to the jacket and i had holes in my pants but the jacket was 100% okay. I had a bruise on my elbow and one on my back right shoulder blade but nothing on the jacket. Because of this i am 100% confident in Icons quality. I have a pair of Joe Rocket Gloves and they shitted out on me in one season.

My first winter jacket was an icon jacket. It has held up from regular wear and tear as any other non leather jacket I have owned. I would trust it more in a crash than my joe rocket jacket.

You don't see people wearing first gear stuff in moto gp either, but they are more than acceptable for street use. So that answer is just plain dumb.
