Default Taking Factory Decals Off

Hey guys,

I'm giving serious thought to taking my factory decals off. Does anyone have a picture of their bike w/o the decals on it, preferably someone with a red/black 03 RR cuz that's what i have....here's a pic of my bike.

Just go to photoshop or paint and colour them out to see what they look like.

.......just look at TheX's bike, but imagine it red instead of orange (or photoshop it red). It'll look the exact same way.

But the tank's decals are clear coated over........and I've heard they're a PAIN to get off the tank. I thought (very briefly) about changing my decals a while back, but I eventually decided to enhance their look to compliament the bike, and came up with a surprisingly incredible-looking result. So I would do some tinkering in photoshop before you do anything drastic.

I just took them all off, but it's sanded and ready for paint so it won't do any justice. A warning though, Blue Fox is right, the tank decals are cleared over, meaning the chance of ruining the paint is high. The best way is to use a heat gun right in front of where you are pulling, but be careful not to melt the paint. It's a chore

Just adjust the hue to make it red.
