    BLING............nope, no chrome!

    I finished the installation of the KTM Factory Racing Sticker kit today. I think it came out pretty nice considering. The first few stickers I applied dry and had a few bubbles. Then when I got to the tail section I really didn't want any bubbles at all and tried the wet method. I must say that it worked EXCELLENT!!











    I've always said that if you can't ride worth a dam ya gotta look good!

    Austria borders Italy. And yes, it is a Ducati performance mirror but not off of my Ducati. I was to lazy to put the other one on for the photo shoot.

    Haha I almost wasn't going to comment on that one but I have to You sure are good at walking the bike up and over the tuff sections, then stopping 100 yards up the trail

    I like the decal kit, kinda hides some of that orange I've "thought" about getting the grey plastics for mine but haven't felt like sinking any more money into the pit

    How are them studly tires? Figures once things are studded, all the snow and ice melts It's hard to think a week ago I was out on the ice after work... and now the ice is all gone..

    I can only gather that you were behind me from that statement.

    From what NEBA says Hopington-Everett is open. I may check this out this week.

    Well, I wasn't until you walked your bike by me
    It was that place where I got stuck in the big quaghole of mud, you guys helped me out of it... then you walked your bike around it...kept on walking by where I stopped... and kept on walking up the hill and over the rocks!!! Don't tell me you don't remember that??? That was the day the hikers were walking and passed us on the trail??
    That was a pretty fun day and that's what trail riding is all about... good fun

    Oh yeah and Bob showed us both up on that one, he has the biggest, widest and heaviest bike and he didn't get stuck in the mud and made it up the rocks with no help

    I don't think I can remember a day I've been out with you peeps that I have not had exposive fun. Please never, ever take my posts here or elsewhere seriously. Motorcycling is suppose to be a fun event and never confused with controversy. I have learned so much from you and the people you have introduced me to Sean and his wife included.

    I can only say is that I'm the old fart tryin ta keep up with the rest.

    Hummmmmmm, spiky, going ice fishing anytime soon

    And don't you ride that thing in my backyard either

    Alright seriously, those are serious looking tires, I would love to try it sometimes.

    The decals does hide the orange a little bit, but in a good way. What a beauty queen

    I think my 950 is too orange as well, but may consider some oversize Rt129 stickers, once I qualified that is

    Anyway, we should catch up soon.

    The sizuk looks great too. Is that a sticker kit you installed? how did you apply it.

    Get some dam spikies so we can ride.

    I know you were Mark I think I had too much last night.

    BTW, I hadda go around you. You're bike was self-supported axle deep in mud It's always better to let the experienced peeps go first.

    You're not serious about going over the top of Misery are you?

    I bought the parts as a kit from CycleZone.com.

    wire harness

    directionals (rear)

    directionals and mounting bracket (front)

    Harness plug cluster bracket.

    Front break light switch

    Dirictional/high/low beam switch

    Rear break switch

    Mirror mount half clamps (not included in the kit)

    I think thats all of it.

    Installing graphics isn't that hard.
    After cleaning, just spray a little soapy water on the graphic and the plastic. That way the graphic can be slid anywhere you want.
    Then I just used a hairdryer and a credit card to squeez out the water and get the graphic to bend into the hard spots.
    No bubbles all season with many washes.

    With all this rain I won't need any spikes.
