Abstract
The present invention relates to a customization previewing system for a component for a vehicle, such as a motorcycle. In one embodiment, the system comprises paintable scaled models or prototypes for OEM motorcycle components, such as fenders, fuel tanks, saddlebags and the like. The model prototypes are configured to be between 50 and 80 percent in size of the OEM motorcycle components to enable the owner to accurately preview or visualize a customization job before the same is performed on the actual OEM motorcycle component. Each of the model prototypes is also comprised of a mounting hook for mounting the prototype to a wall or other surface. A spray painter is used to spray the paint, decoration or graphic onto the prototype and change the color thereof based on the preferences of the user.

A system for creating a vehicle component prototype comprising:
- a server having a memory containing information relating to a make and model of a selected vehicle;
- the memory further comprising a plurality of colors, graphics and other decorations for application to the vehicle component prototype;
- a user interface, wherein the user interface is in communication with the server to allow a user to select at least one of the plurality of colors, graphics and other decorations to be applied to the vehicle component prototype;
- and
- a manufacturing means for creating the vehicle prototype of the selected vehicle.
A method for creation of a motorcycle preview component comprising:
- selecting a make and a model of an actual motorcycle upon which the motorcycle preview component will be based;
- manufacturing the motorcycle preview component to be between 50 and 80% in size of the selected make and model of the actual motorcycle;
- and
- applying at least one of a user selected color, graphic or decoration to the manufactured motorcycle preview component.
A system for previewing a component for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a memory comprising a plurality of customization options and a set of information relating to a make and a model of a number of different vehicles;
- a processor for accessing the memory and providing a set of instructions to an adaptive manufacturing device to manufacture a prototype of the component;
- and
- a sprayer for applying at least one of a color, a graphic or a decoration to the prototype of the component.
