Since my bike is ip awaiting parts, i was thinking about debadging the bike. I know most of you have done it already, so my question is what did you use and how long did it take? I amgoing to tapeworks to get a custom graphic for the side fairings to match the color of my rim tape (reflective black). Here is the design:

use a heat gun or a blow dryer to soften up the decals, they'll come off pretty easy. to get off any glue residue, use spray polish. spray it on REAL thick, let it sit for a few seconds, and it'll wipe right off, and won't hurt the paint any.
and btw ALL honda's (and most every other modern bike on the planet) have the tank decals under the clearcoat. it's to keep them from peeling if/when you spill gas on them.

Close...........not ALL Hondas have them clear-coated. Not sure how they decided which ones would get cleared and which ones don't. My 04 600RR Candy Blue was not clear-coated.....hence my new decals.

that's because not all the honda's actually HAVE paint, alot of them just have colored plastic.
on a side note... if you do happen to have a bike with nonpainted, colered plastic... that stuff is damn near impossible to plastic weld properly.

Re: Thinking about debadging
Well bike is free of CBR markings and RR crap. new question. I noticed the barends on the CBR(at least the 06's) are notched, will aftermarket ends work on them?
