Re: CARBON FIBRE
i'm not a lover of overly stickered bikes, i wouldn't spoil the carbon look with to many decals, each to their own.
when are you going to attempt the fuel tank?
as soon as i find another silver p-clip, i'll post the other gold one to you, thats if your still going with the gold?

Re: CARBON FIBRE
Just waiting for the extra vinyl to arrive then it will be on with the tank. I won't be putting many more stickers on than this but they do help to break the carbon fibre upagentpineapple wrote:i'm not a lover of overly stickered bikes, i wouldn't spoil the carbon look with to many decals, each to their own.

Yes you could definitely hear a lot of cursing and swearing and lots of banging by a very stroppy person fitting vinyl!!!!
First attempt of the tank went very wrong and I came to the realisation that it cannot be done in one piece, see below for start of first attempt,
Anyway, I decided to try doing it in three pieces, by doing each side, cutting them to shape once fitted and then doing the top of the tank, here is the outcome below. I intend to get some thin red tape and pinstripe the seams to hide them as much as possible. What do we think? be kind please.
I also need to order some new Firestorm stickers for the tank!

Re: CARBON FIBRE
I like that. I think other than the seams it looks brilliant.
Red pinstripe will look good. As Marty said get some daylight pictures when it's all done mate.

Re: CARBON FIBRE
Good effort. I would say lose the red HONDA stickers... Look too much like an afterthought.
