    So I'm looking for opinions or any thoughts on whether I should put new decals back on my bike, or leave them off and go without the decals?


    Let me know your thoughts and opinions!

    Cheers

    It would be fun to put Harley decals on your bike.

    Kinda fun not having any decals on a bike at all or have some made up just to see what the reactions are.

    in my opinion, less is more
    if it could be torn off my bike, it has been
    just hate the fact honda clear coats over their logo on the tank otherwise that would be gone too.

    I would use the decals, to me it looks like it isn't complete. Or....you could have them airbrushed on (costs more, but is waayyy cooler)/

    I love the color of your bike, but to me it looks to plain...(without decals).

    i agree with dude. i am very minimalist in my bike.
    besides it always cracks me up to hear people say, "is that a 600 or 1000?"

    I'd put them on. The decals are pretty bare bones to start with, and I think it adds a lot to the bike...

    If your bike had more than one color, you could get away without the logos. I took all the decals off my bike, even the two on the tank. I think it looks good without them.

    Good call on the decals. I put the H O N D A across the bottom of the fairings. That's it. The black lettering looks great on the '08 color. It's not too much, but gives it a little something. To each his own, right? I'm glad I put them on. Post the pics when you've put them on. I got my decals from alloutgraphics.com. I'm not sure I was too impressed with the VFR logo that came with the kit, but the HONDA decals were straight forward and they applied easily. I suppose I could send them off to you if you need a template or if you would like to try it out before you spend the money. If so, PM me. Good Luck! Mike

    yep...need something to break up that sea of yellow. IMO, the factory got it right on the vfr for graphics. But, only you need to like it...it's your bike.

    Love the yellow.:thumbsup:

    On! My bike has the VFR sticker on one side and not on the other. I prefer the side that has it on. The VFR logo is pretty sick looking.

    Its definitely a personal preference, but I prefer off. I happen to have a fifth generation in yellow as well, and the only stickers I have are the emblems on the tank. I like it that way.

    I think your bike looks great without them - after all, we're twins (although my aftermarket exhaust and Corbin seat change the viewing lines slightly).

    I say leave 'em off!
