removing decals - SV650.org

what do you think about this?

I Photoshopped a little bit to remove de original SV650S decal.
I want to do this because I don't realy like the decal and removing it would be original me thinks.

But what I am worried about is, if you gonna see the image of the removed decal because of the sun that decollored the yellow...

Maybe I will replace the old ones by these nice SV650R, if I can find them.

My bike is the same mdel and colour as yours on a Y plate. When I dropped it parts of the sticker came away and the colour of the paint under the sticker is the exact same as the exposed paint on my machine.

Just my opinion, but I agree it will look original, in a "I've dropped my bike and got the fairing re-sprayed but can't be a*sed to get the decal" kind of look.

Do a search for the R stickers because I'm sure they've been on here several times, they do look good

Yeah fit the R stickers. I have some of the "talk you to death MCC" crowd convinced my SV is a Japan only limited edition special

Sooo much better looking than a Pointy one.............

I've thought about that too, but I don't realy care. Becasue I will ride my bike for 2 more years (minimum) and it has now already 60000km so I thinks not many people will buy my bike then...

I will ride her untill the end of days

I found them on svrider.com

I hope they ship to Europe (Belgium)...

I've got a pointy in blue, and ALL stickers are off, including the Suzuki S on the tank, the SV 650 on the flank, and "Suzuki" above the taillight. All that's left is the VIN plate, and that's because I'm not sure if it's legal to move it. I get people asking me what sort of bike it is all the time.

I hated that, the last thing I want is to entice people to talk to me. Kids, old people and policemen I don't need asking me questions about my bike...

If not, I'm positive you can find a US board member to receive them and post them to you. Stickers would fit in an ordinary envelope, quite cheap to send.
