today I applied the decals to my 2nd tank and cowl, or at least I started to...never done this before so I was hesitant to begin...after sanding back the clear coat I started with the center stripes, the tail went ok, the tank was frustrating
not an easy task getting those stripes straight running back and forth to the old tank (in the garage) with calipers trying to get it as close as possible...finally success!
then it was on to the side stripes on the cowl before I graduated to the most difficult part, the lower tank stripes
..after a few adjustments I got those applied, a hair dryer set on low helped bend then to the upper curve...but something looked odd/wrong but I attributed that to the new blue color...
on to the lower tank stripes!...the stripes are longer than oem so I took the first stripe to the garage to see how much would need to be trimmed off and realized then what seemed odd about the cowl stripe...SCM sent me the wrong decal kit! I had the red decal kit not the silver kit
...
I sent an email to Bert at SCM to see what he can do, if anything ...if not I may have to go without the side stripes on the tank and cowl(I pulled those off before they set for good)
...I was hoping to replicate the oem look except for the blue...
CBX a work in progress, still improving...GS1150EFE completed and awaiting modifications.....RD350, remnants in boxes scattered throughout the garage
