I personally do stickers that have a reason behind them. Usually it is either someone who has given me a break on parts, good value for the cost, or something I really like or believe in. I don't run stickers for stuff I don't use, stickers that aren't good quality, or stickers for parts that were overpriced in my mind.

I am a big fan of Converse All Star Chuck Taylors and have actually made up stickers myself for my helmets (black with the ball on the sides). I will run stickers for the dealership that gives me a break on my tensioner gaskets and sometimes on other stuff. I run my own stickers for obvious reasons and kind of hope some riders have them on display if they think the part I make was a good deal. so I send a couple of them with every cam chain tensioner. I also only run good quality stickers that will hold up.

Last, I have made up a couple of stickers for personal reasons. One is Clem's Garage, for my father's continuous allowance of my use of his garage. No special garage, just his home residential garage which I used for bikes since 1972 when we built it (I helped some). I have another that I made up for The Dirty Necks MC Club - a loose unorganized gang of hooligans that I ride with at different times. No club rules, dues, meetings, or anything - just display the sticker... tee shirts to follow if I can afford them. The name came about from a comment my former employer/dealership owner made about all the HD guys back in 82-83 or so.

It is totally about what one wants to "say" when they make a statement with their bikes. Kind of like helmets and other apparel. Someone doesn't like it, I don't really care. They ain't contributing to the whole thing, so their comments don't carry much weight with me.

 

Im a sticker *****. I have a egg box in the garage labeled STICKERS and it is almost full.... problem is that when your a horder of stickers... you can not stomache the thought of using them, you may never again see that sticker again!

I have a no stickers on my dirt bikes.
My trucks.... they might have a couple!


I guess I have a couple on the Killer (KLR), I have the local Dual Sport club "RCR" sticker and I have the beloved "KLR650 - Official Zombie Survival Vehicle" sticker on each side of the fairing and one on the rear fender. The zombie ones are high reflective safety stickers.

 

usually do not think about stickers until I am drinking a beer in the garage, and the bored factor kicks in, then let me at 'em.... Only sticker what you have ...

 

Cool, just what I thought, about half one way and about half the other. Lots of great opinions

I probably won't add any more stickers until I get the "351" sticker

Here is what it looks like now:

 

Haha, that's my hare scramble number. Coincidence




Sometimes you can't see it very well, though, that means it was a good ride.

 

I use stickers sparingly, mostly to cover up crash damage.

As for the '351' stickers, go to www.tssgraphics.com. They can make anything you want. They used my bike to make their '06/'07 templates, and made my 'KLX340' graphics for the side panels...

 

Are we ever going to see the 340 now you have the 450?

 

Oh I'm sure it will make an appearance or 2. The 340 is going to be my dual-sport bike (I.E. more than a few miles of blacktop) while the 450 will be my mostly offroad bike.

 

I call dibs on your 450 when you want more power and go to the burg 570.

 

Haha, your dibs is noted.
