So i decided to take off all my factory stickers on m 06 6r the other day. Thought it would look cleaner without them on there. It does clean the bike up, but once i removed the big Kawasaki sticker on the fake tank area, i noticed the blue paint was shinny and not flat looking like the rest of the bike. HMMM. After paying more attention to it, i noticed that the area where the sticker was is lower then the rest of the painted area, along with being shinny. I dont understand how in the world they were able to clear that area and not the rest of the painted area. Im just confused now. Debating on putting a Icon sticker on both sides but not for sure yet. Any of you guys/gals got any insight on this??

 

who knows, im all for the icon sticker tho-post a pic when you do it.

 

ohh yeah and welcome to kf

 

Ive been looking around on different sites for some good stickers. What sites you all recomend for stickers? All that i have found is factory racing stickers.

 

welcome...

and www.tapeworks.com has some pretty good stuff.

 

are you sure it wasnt adhesive left on the bike?

 

im pretty sure none of the sticker is left. i rubbed it down real well with Go Gone and the shinny area is still shinny. Im in no hurry since its now turning cold here in Indiaiana[>:] I checked out tape works and didnt see any icon stickers.....maybe i didnt look that well or somethin.

 

Check these out. I can ask him to do different color shadows/ backgrounds.

Looks like he knows what he is doing. I saw where they some guys were wondering about the different sizes in lettering on the tank sticker. Is he able to ge this to match up correctly? If he can i thought about doing some kind of smilar blue that would be sorta like a ghost lettering of Kawasaki on the tank. Just throwing out some ideas. Not for sure if he is able to get a close match to the '06 blue color or not to make a ghost like effect.
Its either that or just slap a HUGE icon sticker on both sides of the tank.
Thanks for the help Speedracer. Let me know if he can do anything like that...

 

I have been working with him to get the sticker as close as possible to the factory type-setting. The "Kawasaki" on the tank is wierd. The letters are different sizes. The "a" is taller than the "s" and the "w" is shorter than the "s". I have had to trace it & have him redo it 3 times to get it as exact as he can. It's a pain the way they did the letters. I will find out how it looks tomorrow night.
