Worked up this one specifically for the cafe-racer crowd. Its not a generic side-view silhouette. Theres actual colour layering happening: the body comes through in a cool steel-grey (R91 G114 B138), the fuel tank and frame pick up white highlights, and then those rims hit in a burnt orange-red that really really pops against the dark base. Black carries the most stitches at 4,619, which gives the whole thing that inky outlined graphic look. Dont mistake it for a simple two-colour job.

6 colours total, 6 size options from 2 inches wide up to 7 inches, stitches ranging from 9,336 to 36,806. The digitising at density 1255 is intentionally tight. Built in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the colour-block edges land crisp and the underlay holds the grey body flat without any texture bleeding through from the fabric below. At 38 trims in the smallest version, the machine keeps moving without alot of stops. Youll appreciate that on a longer run.

Best on dark base fabrics. A black twill jacket or dark denim lets the orange rims and white highlights do the work. On lighter fabrics the grey reads softer, almost silver. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway. The density is high enough that tearaway tends to leave registration gaps on the wheel spokes. Hoop firmly, no slack. Ive seen this one look kinda just okay when hooped loose, so take the extra minute.

One customer asked for the 5-inch version on the back yoke of a black canvas work shirt and it came out looking like a proper biker patch. Last month another customer wrote asking if theyd used the wrong stabiliser because the spokes looked off, and sure enough it was tearaway on a dense knit. Swapped to cutaway and it was fine.
