Title: Carbon Fiber Dome Stickers Part Deux
Post by: seamax on March 22, 2005, 01:44:27 AM

By the time you see this most of the stickers have been sent out.
I say most because I have some bad and good news.

The good news is that all the people who order silver, black, red, and navy blue; your stickers were sent out today snail mail. They should get to you before Friday except for ConanLloyd. You still have to paid for yours bud.

The bad news is for the three people who order pink and yellow. Due to the fact that they print on silver metallic film the yellow has a greenish hue and the pink looks more like purple.

This is unacceptable for me since he told me that he could do pink and yellow. Therefore I have request that he redo them and try to get it to look pink and yellow or refund your money. If he does not refund the money I will refund your money myself.

But because of this I now have two pairs of green and one pair of purple stickers if anyone wants to purchase them at maybe a reduce price. Not much though.

As for installation I recommend doing the following:
1. Remove the stock sticker.
2. Clean the area removing any traces of the old adhesive with some solvent, 'sticker shock' or 'goo gone'.
3. Then wash the area with some liquid dish detergent and warm water.
4. Clean the area with a lint free towel or cloth.
5. Next peel of the back cover of the sticker and put it on.

The sticker is 3.5" so it is about 1/16" smaller than the stock around the edges. So when you put it on make sure it is center. You can't see the 1/16" gap unless you look at it up close.

6. The sticker material is pressure sensitive. Once you have it on the way you want it use your thumb or a soft, non-maring tool to apply pressure.

That's all for now. I will keep the three people without sticker yet updated.

I got my silver ones a couple days ago.  Flippin' awsome.

I haven't put them on yet.  Waiting til bike is back together. . .

Post by: seamax on March 25, 2005, 09:50:03 PM
Ok. Good news. For the three people who are waiting he is going to remake them for you guys/gal. I will probably get them late next week . Sorry for the wait.

On that note I still have one purple pair and two kawasaki green ones for sale. If no wants them they are going on ebay soon. Look at the first page for pics.

Shoot me an email if you are interested.

Also stop PM'ing me asking if I'm sellig anymore of these. If you want one start a thread and try to get at least 10 orders (10 pairs) of the same color and anything after that is a plus. I need at least 10 orders of the same color to make it worthwhile for my time and his.  :roll:

just got my black ones today! looks great...i always thought they were made with carbon fiber... :dunno:
Title: Carbon Fiber Dome Stickers Part Deux
Post by: JCH on March 29, 2005, 12:25:43 PM
Yeah I thought they were actual carbon fiber as well as oppossed to being a carbon fiber graphic.  Up close you can easily tell.  However, though I haven't put mine on yet, I can't imagine people will ever be eye level with my crank case.

Hit it with a heat gun or hair dryer or try it when the bike has been running for a while.  That'll loosen up the adhesive.  Then clean off all of the old adhesive with some laquer thinner or something.
