Thinking of removing my decals and doing something different. Maybe a race type decal kit, or a tribal. Not sure yet, just hunting around for something that reall catches my eye.

I tried Google and did not find what I was looking for. Any places that you guys recommend?

Well, I removed all decals except for the ones on the tank as they are under several layers of clearcoat.

Bike looks great, although I must say that removing them was a HUUUUGE pain in the ***. Took me about 3 hours, and the "Goo gone" seemed to eat through the finish on the fairing in one spot. Overall it looks great, and I plan to put some decail on the bike so it will be covered up. Just a spot on the grey where the finish is rough rather than shiny.

I am thinking that a tribal decale kit is in order, perhaps a subdued metallic gold coler that will look nice against the grey and maroon.

 

Yeah be careful with the "Goo Gone"

It is pretty good at getting the adhesive off, but it takes some rubbing to get the thick stuff off. The more you rub....it eats thru the clear coat and can leave your finish looking dull.
I know because I took the decals off my Katana ("Can-O-Tuna") and it was blue. The rag I was using had some blue on it after I was all done.

Definitely had to give it a good waxing to bring the finish back to glossy. In some spots it was a little rough (to the touch) though. It looked good and didn't damage the paint very bad or anything....it just needed some attention (wax/polish) to bring the finish back.

Using a hair dryer (or do it when it's warm out) helps to make it easier.

 

Sadly, that information might have helped me. I thought that it was safe for painted surfaces. I will try waxing it, but I guess that a decal kit is now in order, whereas the bike looks very clean and sharp with no decals at all.
