Hey there gang! I will be ordering a single legshield banner as a test unit (at my expense), the banners are designed to fit most step through style scooters and they are sized at 6" x 24" and include corner grommets. I believe that they are also UV protected but I will need to verify that with the producer. Current cost is $13.99 + shipping. These are a great way to show your colors when you attend rides or rallies!  Let me know if you're interested and I will see about getting a group buy discount! RIDE HARD! Richard |

No doubt to be a collectors item in the future. How many does it take to make a group rate? R

It's a good idea... but... I know there was some smack talk about the logo (on all sides ) recently, so don't anyone get all bent out of shape or anything. This is one mans "professional" opinion. I would really not recommend putting blue type on a blue back ground. Anywhere beyond 3 feet those letters will disappear. As an exercise, look at the banner and blur your eyes a bit to simulate distance. You can't read it. The blue on red is not much better. Ok, so I am ready for the smack down... go for it.

Use the size 6"x 24" and post your idea, if you need the raw art PM me and I'll email you the goods! RULES - It has to have the logo on it some where, has to say Albuquerque and New Mexico on it. - ALSO the end of the font is roughly the end of a scooters legshield so any art beyond that edge will be wrapped around.

Ah strategy!
Been quite busy. Email me the goods, I'll give it a shot. In the goods include the specs... Can it bleed etc.?
I'll admit I do not think there is an ideal solution off hand. It is a challenge.

The letters might show up better in black but I'd really like to see one full size first it'll probably be ok.
Our design is a lot clearer then some I've seen!!

Hey there all!! I will now continue the D.C.S.C. Legshield Banner Saga...  I found a shop locally that could match the internet price BUT they ended up being a national chain... I contact these folks in the UK and they could do them for $10 USD each but I still wanted to try to stay local... A few days and two phone calls later I found an actual local shop (on Juan Tabo) and spoke to the shops owner for a while, he googled a few images of what the Legshield Banners were and he said that yes he could do it and that he could match the $10 price he said he had to look into some details so he would call me back. GROOVY! ...One week later nothing yet. As I'm a 8-5 worker its hard to get out to shops during business hours and it had been a week and aforementioned shop has still not yet returned my call in regards to the banners. So the other day during lunch, I took a ride over to their shop today and unfortunately the gentleman that helped me on the phone was not in so a women there offered to continue the project - BUT the around $9-10 each for 10 suddenly became $230+! I assured her that the gentleman was planning on letting us have these for about $10 each but she claimed that there was noway they could do it for such a low price and that most likely no one in town would do it for such a low price. I just walked out at this point fired up my bike and left. I was thinking that how disappointed and let down I was when suddenly I saw another print shop, turned around to get to it walked in and asked if they were locally owned. They said yep. I told them my situation and dropped a CD with the above art on the counter - Steve and James (the two that helped me) informed me that ABQGrafix could easily handle this project of 10 banners at $10 each BUT since they will be used outdoors that they colors MAY be a bit lighter then the design as they will be UV coated and sadly they would need 7-10 days for them. Well, I told them SOLD! Now the countdown begins. PS - The other designs are STILL welcome!!! RIDE HARD! Richard |

D.C.S.C. Legshield Banner For a limited time low price of $13 you will receive the Official D.C.S.C. Legshield banner! Our full color 6" x 24" legshield banner includes corner grommets and two bungees!! LIMITED QUANTITY - ONLY 3 IN STOCK!!!  Our former supplier raised the price to $16 each as they are now charging for the raw material size NOT the final size and the grommets - I do appreciate their quality but I expected no less in the first place but to raise the prices... So, I will now have to buy via the InterMcNets unless a local supplier comes through for us. WORD UP! Richard
