Title: Hopefully an easy question :P
Post by: Yev on December 02, 2007, 07:58:41 PM
I noticed that some of the GS500F's don't have the decal on the front fairing.. however mine does.. and it looks like POO.. Can these decasl be taken off just like the stickers on the frame? (with a little heat and some goo gone).. or is it under a clear coat?
Here's the decals I'm talking about

And while I have your attention.. RED or WHITE rim stripes??

you can take the decals off by just heating them up, like a hairdryer.
as for the rim stripe- if you are going to remove the reflectors and change the taillight i would go with white- the red will look out of place without the red reflectors and tailight.

I'd go with white rim stripes! Looks good.

Taillight and reflector are staying but the reflector will be moved to fit the flow of the seat.. know what I mean?

I like the red rim stripe, but I'd rather see blue.
