Nice bike man, if you have the bike just go out there and look. You should easily be able to tell if the decals are cleared over or not.

You could get some black stompgrips or something similar to put over the decals on the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im determined to get that silver off there!Thanks for everyones help though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 They might work for you and get you that all black tank look for less work.Tech Spec:http://www.techspec-usa.com/overview.html#Stomp Grip (I didn't see black but didn't look very hard):http://www.stompdesign.com/stompgrip/pads.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedogg624 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 im pretty sure stomp grip has black applications. but i think if you put the stomp grip on properly you will still have a little showing near the lower front of the tank.

I was thinking he could get the universal stuff and cut his own pattern. I've yet to use the stuff...just going on what I've seen other people do.

ReconRat Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) keep it simple? Remove the ones you can, and paint over the ones you can't? I mean tape off the tank sticker and paint only that. Or put a sticker of your choice over the tank sticker, even easier. Vinyl appliques for motorcycles, there's a million of them.edit: What about a black tank bra thingy? Would it cover that area of the tank?

mrmako777 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 No the S isn't clear coated. The stripe is tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 techspec ftw...theres also a kit that u can cut ur own designs, pretty it should cover up about 95% of that strip depending on how you cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The "S" is a stick on chrome decal. The colored stripe is cleared 100%. The stomp grip idea is great. You can get some black vinyl and cover the spot where the grip tape won't cover and you'd be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
