    I reckon you should slap on two Honda wing decals on the tank. Saw some on Trade-Me for about $15 bucks for a pair or ebay it, it shouldn't be more than US $20.00 for some top quality ones.
    Oh true cool man, yeah gonna wait and get this nice new screen from Ebay should be on its way and then I can try make my bike a bit prettier! Maybe even some new non-cracked mirrors etc.

    oh shit i just remembered i may still have the full vinyl sticker kits for two racebike fireblades (cbr-rr) lying around. i used to be a signwriter, and that was one reject that wasn't going in the bin! i don't think all of it is machine cut as it was rejected when the cut got out of alignment with the print by up to a mm. also, no application tape and the vinyl will have shrunk a bit but that isn't an issue....

    all the shoei, michelin, castrol etc sponsor stickers, plus a few "cbr", "rr", "fireblade" and honda logos

    Really?? We may have to talk! I think I will do some light sanding and more clear coats over next week, but then stickers would really class it up!

    found them

    enough for two bikes, note the stuff cut out of white, "fireblade", "HRC" and michelin men stickers are the only ones to be cut by machine before the job was pulled, the rest you'll have to do with a steel rule and sharp blade (modelling knife/stanley blade/scalpel with fresh blade)

    also, one of the michelin men are missing - vinyl has shrunk a bit but that's not a major issue - looks to not be laminated with a protective coat to prevent fade from UV rays, but will still last a fair while

    not bad for a freebie

    well there's more than enough there to go around

    maybe i'll bring it all round to the next fix it night?

    rob you'll need some app tape, or simply buy some extra wide masking tape (about 2" or 50mm wide or wider)

    Stickers are awesome. I am tempted to put some really girly pearl white unicorns on madison, but then I think she would NEVER resell...
