my mechanic actually didn't charge me for this job.

i just bought the decals and then i brought it to him. he removed the previous decals and placed the ones i got.

it took him around 30 mins since he was being careful.

you needed to take it to a mechanic to put stickers on for you? :frusty:

i need it to be precise so i didn't take any chances.

plus, he has a heat gun which makes removing the stock decals a lot easier.

i was afraid to scratch it while trying to removing the old decals.

Some people just enjoy shelling out hard-earned money for someone else to tighten their chain. If you catch my drift, wink wink, nudge nudge.

.... err, where's that Bubba avatar when ya need him?
Funny, I have strange fat men offer to lube my chain in the parking lot for free.

Well you better keep that bike in your garage under a cover at all times, lest it get scratched by a rock or bolt or other road debris! :laughing:

uhmm err... i needed some practice so it's better to ride over there and have him do it?

ok, im just lazy. :laughing:

but seriously, watching how he did it. i immediately knew i would have botched if i did it myself.

but anyway... now that i saw him do it. next time i get decals, i could do it myself.

Take all the decals off the bike, including the factory decals. Not only will the bike look far less tacky, but it'll lend it an air of mystery as people who see it wonder what the heck it is.

There is the word I was looking for. Motorcycles have too many stickers as it is.
