Got bored yesterday and peeled 'em off,you'd think for the $ they could do better than those shitty ass stickers(still gotta get the rear sets powdercoated

).

Hey older dude.

Came off fairly easily with a hair dryer,though i got in a hurry towards the end and had one hell of a time getting some of the adhesive off(stayed on the bike rather than coming off with the graphics

).

That glue is a bitch to get off.

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #15 on:** May 18, 2012, 04:20:15 PM »

You ain't lyin' Fred,took me longer to get about 3 square inches of that glue off than it did all of the stickers.

fvance · « **Reply #16 on:** May 18, 2012, 05:32:16 PM »

Yup, been there done that!!

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #21 on:** May 26, 2012, 06:52:52 AM »

Was looking around on Brocks board yesterday and somebody with that same issue said he used Rain X and the adhesive(even the really hard shit)came right off.Might be worth a try next time somebody attempts it,short of a belt sander i think it's a bastard no matter what you use(i finally had to use some Mothers Scratch Remover,eventually got it off but it was a sonofabitch).

SuperDaveJr712 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2012, 10:40:00 PM »

damn man better not scratch it

Superzuki 2012 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 11, 2012, 05:05:20 PM »

Niiice!!! That goes a long way toward blacking it all out.

Finally got around to the rear sets and pass. peg mounts...now i have to get after those front turn signal lenses.

Superzuki 2012 · « **Reply #26 on:** June 12, 2012, 09:48:10 PM »

What lenses are you considering?

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2012, 05:52:16 AM »

I'll probably just black out the stockers,already did the Hotbodies on the rear.

Bike is friggin' georgous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mine is silver/gray so it would not have the same effect. Your bike is Numero Uno..........

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #31 on:** June 13, 2012, 06:49:13 PM »

Thanks Dave,i'm really likin' this bike.

Mike-Nightrider · « **Reply #32 on:** June 14, 2012, 12:26:19 AM »

The frame plugs are nice Jeff.
Ive bought a cheap set of them and lost the big plug 2 times

Hope yours fit better.

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #33 on:** June 14, 2012, 05:51:08 AM »

I had a couple that kept wanting to come out also,ended up puting a bit of black silicone around the outer edges and tapping in with a mallet(never came loose again).

Good idea but I must remove the engine and swingarm at my bike so often

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #35 on:** June 14, 2012, 05:06:57 PM »

Yeah,that could get to be a hassle.

Pat Dietrich · « **Reply #36 on:** June 24, 2012, 06:38:57 AM »

Clean that thing Mr! Your an embarrassment to the busa community

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #37 on:** June 24, 2012, 06:56:03 AM »

...usually touch it up every day,whether i ride it or not.

Oh yeah Pat,have an updated pic...

...blacked out the front turn signal lenses.

(even that was a pain in the ass,havin' to pull those panels,screen,etc. just to get at that upper screw

)

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #38 on:** June 24, 2012, 07:08:42 AM »

...next are some Pazzo levers and to replace the stock chain and rear sprocket(Vortex has a nice looking sprocket that's black with some polished lookin' highlights,and Dan J sent me the info. on the black chain he was running and looked good,thinking i'll go that route.

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #39 on:** June 24, 2012, 07:43:05 AM »

Mama got me a TomTom GPS the other day(for my B-day,the big 59...found some hairs startin' to grow outa my ears so i think it's almost over

)since i get lost all the time,really just wanted one to check my speedo(75 indicated is actually 70,think an indicated 100 was something like 91 or 92).Of course(naturally)the one she got me(TomTom VIA 1535 TM)appears to be one of the few you can't do the Ram stem mount thing with(can't locate a cradle that holds the unit/that will attach to the Ram ball thingamagig).Big screen(since i'm half blind

)...wonder if i can download some porn on that bitch? :lol:For now it has to be a bit off center on the tank for that suction mount to grip,and i rigged up a quick safety lanyard in case i want to check the speedo at the indicated 186 and the sonofabitch blows off. :lol:Probably never use it much,but it does beat the hell out of havin' hand written directions in my pocket and pullin' over all the time to see where in the hell i'm at(now it'll be the directions to work this damned thing,i can't remember shit).

slatroni · « **Reply #40 on:** June 24, 2012, 09:23:59 PM »

Jeff, the only thing that could make that bike look better, is if it were in my garage! Nice job!

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #41 on:** June 24, 2012, 09:28:57 PM »

Well thank you Steve.

(took me most of the day,but i figured out a clean way to stem mount the GPS so will order the parts tomorrow along with the Pazzo levers

)

bouncer · « **Reply #42 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:10:57 PM »

I work in a fabrication shop and with very little effort I made a bracket that hooks on the top two tank bolts and it holds my gps beautifully

piratediverjefff · « **Reply #43 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:24:21 PM »

Good deal.

Ended up going with some of the Ram Mount ball system stuff that should work out good(along with a cig. lighter socket,etc.,ended up at $90 total...along with the $220 she spent on the damned GPS,over $300 total... and all i ever wanted was a $90 Garmin just to check my speedo error

).
