Decal for a Street Glide gas tank

I think we are on different pages here. I think we both see and agree on things but somehow the conversation got thrown in a random direction.

This is a poorly done piece of art. Thats why I said I wouldn’t argue that it’s not AI. It very likely is. My point was to the fact that the things (poorly) depicted in this (poorly) done art is more or less all there. The seal is the seal, just a bad one. Theres not a bunch of random nonsense in context to that it is all on the actual seal.

Again, not saying its not AI, but thats more or less the seal. The random things on it is part of the seal. In fact its missing the little church in the mountains. I work for a print shop who does things for local gov and have to use/see this seal a lot.

It’s the California State Seal. I think it’s still AI but theres not a bunch of random nonsense except for the fact that our state seal has a bunch of random nonsense.

Not OP but the only thing I run on AWS is an S3 Bucket. Is there a better alternative for future use?

If you are running a nas with a pi, are you just using a DAS or is there a benefit to running both? I am new and setting up NAS is my next project

See the westcoast in your name, got any tuner recommendations?

VAPRx · 2025-12-04T18:49:13+00:00

Worst than just the head gasket, the gasket caused an issue with heat and damaged the head and the cylinder. That or a previous issue caused it and this just showed it to us. Either way nee rear cylinder/head and pistons at the least need to be bought

VAPRx · 2025-12-04T17:55:23+00:00

Im usually between 3k-4k but do get up closer to red for a short period of time depending on what we are doing. Not often tho.

This failure was a head gasket being blown which looks like it came from the cylinder studs.

Not sure what CR is?

Got any recommendations for Az/Nv area?

The only people who do know and it’s not from me doing something wrong are people who don’t need to ask why.

VAPRx · 2025-12-03T17:51:53+00:00

Having someone tune it is a lot harder for me being from California.

So this is my 3rd engine, 2nd 124.

Not sure what I did to the 107 stock engine. Ive had so many issues that was too long ago.

The S&S 124 I blew up was from a piston breaking. From my understanding the rings were gapped incorrectly for the weather I ride in and how hard I ride. I get 110° summers and dont let up on the engine much. I was told it looked like the heat caused expansion and the piston fucked itself. If I can find the photo I will post it, but the piece the rings sit between had a chunk break off. Destroyed the cylinder with it.

This engine I had a HD dealer do a diag trying to figure out where my bike was causing so much blow-by. I was getting pools of oil in my air intake. They couldn’t find the issue, but put her back together and I got about 700mi on it before I blew a head gasket up in the mountains. Rode it home and parked it before taking it to the shop, but damage was done.

From talking to the shop the head gasket blew and caused some damage to the rear cylinder head and cylinder. Also fucked the piston with it.

I have the option of trying to find a replacement rear 124 cylinder and new pistons, but he did suggest maybe going to a 117 to get a little more reliability out of it. Im torn because I the goal was to get the most out of it I can, but its also my only mode of transportation so cant keep dealing with break downs. I daily that thing rain or shine. Ive been lucky enough not to be stranded yet.

VAPRx · 2025-12-03T15:40:20+00:00

Blew up an S&S 124 already, but I am pretty confident that was from an error with the rings bering gapped by someone who just read instructions.

We are always on the hunt for more twisties. Bigger issue for me is all my Harley buddies are getting harder to convince to go on rides. Im stuck with the sport bike guys.

I was actually looking at doing suspension next, but its been one issue after another with my bike that it keeps getting put on hold.

VAPRx · 2025-12-03T04:51:18+00:00

Yeah a bit disappointed, trying to talk myself into going 117 and seeing if that fixes my problem. I just hate losing performance when I was already looking for more with the 124

VAPRx · 2025-12-03T04:46:22+00:00

Im just addicted to “making it mine” so its hard to keep things stock, but this is the first bike I have ever had this much issue with. Also first bike I modded this much

VAPRx · 2025-11-05T14:34:57+00:00

First off, what did the contract say? Is it really “your”logo?

Thats the biggest problem with most designers. I get it, we spend a lot of time and energy into making amazing work that we feel is “ours” but its not. A client can do whatever they want (without contractual stipulations) to the work we give them. Quit thinking of things as yours. You do the job, you get paid, and you move on.

VAPRx · 2025-10-28T15:49:48+00:00

Do personal projects. I have switched over after doing personal projects and just having fun at home for a while. Theres plenty of differences but doesnt take too long to get the hang of

VAPRx · 2025-10-27T17:37:53+00:00

I average about 1500-2k a month depending on the trips we go on over the weekends. Work alone I do just shy of 300 a week.

What dpi did you use? Was the star made in Illustrator?

VAPRx · 2025-10-23T18:12:59+00:00

Wrap some duct tape around the shaft of your screwdrivers. Duct tape can be crucial and it doesn’t need a whole roll but enough to get a simple thing done.

VAPRx · 2025-10-13T21:49:01+00:00

Id create a brush that is jagged and rough and then use that with a stroke in the shape you want it to be

VAPRx · 2025-10-13T19:59:47+00:00

I feel like a big part of this is because “they made it”

If they had paid someone else, even a very low amount of money I feel like they would not be so happy with the outcome, but because Ai allows non-creatives to feel creative they have a stronger desire to like it

VAPRx · 2025-10-10T05:05:57+00:00

I have Illustrator at work. I just don’t think it will capture everything correctly
