Those stickers come off with 2 minutes worth of work to peel them away, and 3-5 minutes with a LOW-grade weak "O Ring" solvent to remove any little bits of glue left over. My first bike had a huge dragon across the tank, and I peeled it off before I sold it, was impossible to tell that it used to be there.
Do you think Verm has the ability to remove the stickers himself ?
of course not, but after 3 threads discussing their removal, then having his machanic do it, all will be well.
LOL :laughing:

It would be a wise move for his mechanic to do it for him. He might even be able to swing a two-for-one deal and get him to fill up his fuel tank while he is at it.

my bandit which is a standard is mistaken for a "crotch rocket" all the time.

at 50 feet 99% of non riders are going to automatically assume that a metric cruiser is a harley
I agree...my Buell Blast gets called a crotch rocket all the time and they ask me how fast it goes. They stop talking when I tell them it tops out at 90 :laughing:

If V putting stickers on his bike kills the resale value I hate to think what mine is after spraypainting it with a can of Krylon :twisted:

I worked with a guy earlier this year that called my ninja 250 a cafe racer.

Hey, think about how rust proof it is now though

Spray Bomb FTW!
