Member Contributer vfrdriscoll Posted November 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted November 24, 2011 Apologize if this has been discussed before... 2003 Silver 800 I currently have my side panels off and have always wanted to put some sort of sticker(s) on those big silver spaces. I like the slightly older "VFR" decals. Something with "Honda" in black along the bottom and "VFR" on the upper. Not looking for anything extreme, just a little something to break up the panel. Anyone have pictures of what you've done or seen that you can share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Infidel Posted November 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted November 24, 2011 There are a few threads floating around about stickers. If you do a search for "Stickers" I am sure they will pop up. Some really nice looking ones too that you can configure different color options. Should give it the look you are lookin' for!! Post a pic or two when you are done. Would love to see how it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Polarbear Posted December 2, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2011 I really like the lower cowl vinyl sticker in unbalanced's post. Where do you get those things and how hard is it to stick on?? C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer unbalanced Posted December 3, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2011 You could do this, where the upper stripes are tape and just the lower black is painted... Photoshop your color preference ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrdriscoll Posted December 3, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2011 Unbalanced - nice pics. You found a few we talked about. I like the HONDA idea - but using the sprayer is a more interesting idea. I'll photoshop a litte today and work the last picture. The black with a HONDA sticker is where I think I'm headed. Be back shortly with a mock up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrdriscoll Posted December 3, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 3, 2011 Polarbear - sticker site commonly referenced and I've been searching is: http://honda-decals.com/ (AKA http://www.xtreemedecals.com/). They seems to have a bit of everything for most bikes. I have no experience applying 'these' stickers, but if it's similar to other material that I've used in the past, it's a fairly simple process.

Member Contributer vfrdriscoll Posted December 31, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 31, 2011 First round of stickers arrived from honda-decals.com. Positioned the lower "Honda" stickers on the panels (and about to stick them). With the size stickers I ordered (13.5 x 1.75), the hole in "D" is exactly over a bolt hole, and the "O" on the other side is just below the opposing bolt hole. This is the best I could position and have it both stickers be positioned the same on their panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You got this installed yet? I too am interested in adding stickers thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrdriscoll Posted January 9, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2012 I do, and they went on very well. I used the dry method and folded over half of the sticker. I like where they ended up. Excuse the tank and seat as I'm waiting for the PAIR blockoff plates :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
