Talking Removing 'SV650' stickers.

I've just got my sv650, black nekkid, and one of the first things i did was to peel off the stickers on the rear saying sv650. I think they look awful and it looks a million times better without them.

Have many other people done this?

But do you not think it would look better without them?
I'll try taking a pic of mine tomorrow and let you see what I mean.

Yeah, I'm in two minds as to whether I should peel them off the front of my K8 sport?

Well mine's an 05 and i was slightly worried the paintwork under the stickers would be slighter bolder than the rest of the bike, but it was fine. I'm really glad I did it!

On my curvy, the stickers are lacquered over, so it'd mean new paint.

If they're not on yours, then just heat them up a little with heat gun or hair dryer. There is a chance you'll see a darker mark where the sticker has stopped UV fading it.

Luckily my one didnt have the stickers.

But I agree, it looks horrible and I would have peeled it off too.
