Stuck some stickers on today, I think they look ok, apart from the decepticon! That looks awful and will be removed!

i'm not a lover of overly stickered bikes, i wouldn't spoil the carbon look with to many decals, each to their own.
when are you going to attempt the fuel tank?
as soon as i find another silver p-clip, i'll post the other gold one to you, thats if your still going with the gold?

Just waiting for the extra vinyl to arrive then it will be on with the tank. I won't be putting many more stickers on than this but they do help to break the carbon fibre up

Yes you could definitely hear a lot of cursing and swearing and lots of banging by a very stroppy person fitting vinyl!!!!

First attempt of the tank went very wrong and I came to the realisation that it cannot be done in one piece, see below for start of first attempt,




Anyway, I decided to try doing it in three pieces, by doing each side, cutting them to shape once fitted and then doing the top of the tank, here is the outcome below. I intend to get some thin red tape and pinstripe the seams to hide them as much as possible. What do we think? be kind please.





I also need to order some new Firestorm stickers for the tank!

looks ok mate, sort the decals out, get some pics in natural light aswell....
i remember trying to do my crash helmet, truely a nightmare, to say theres an art to it is an understatement.......
i might have another tinker with it one day....

Looks ok not great but ok , not that I could do it anywhere as good as that .
Pin strips should help :Thumbup:

[Miztaziggy]

I like that. I think other than the seams it looks brilliant.

Red pinstripe will look good. As Marty said get some daylight pictures when it's all done mate.

Good effort. I would say lose the red HONDA stickers... Look too much like an afterthought.
