Where to stick your decal?

[WestWind]

Do you put stickers or decals on your bike?

I am reluctant to put any decals (such as the BMWMOA decal) on my bike and haven't yet. Do you put decals on your bike? Where do you stick them?

[terham]

On my non-saddlebag bike, I put an MOA sticker on the fairing windshield and on the others I put stickers on the saddlebags. I don't like to put sickers on the painted surfaces. A couple of weeks ago I got rear ended though and one of the saddlebags was damaged and had to be replaced so I lost some nice stickers. OTOH, I now have a fresh palette to start over with. I know I have an MOA sticker around here somewhere.

I like to add reflective stickers to the rear end of the bike on the Jesse Bags or the top case. Favorite sticker is the Ted Hall reflective Vermont Cow.

Suggestion: Put your MOA sticker on the side of your bike, where under normal riding conditions, your legs would conceal it. That way, as you motor down the road, you don't look like some NASCAR rolling advertisement.

However, once stopped, parked and dismounted, you show your pride in the MOA (or any other affiliation your wish to display).

I cover blemishes, scratches and gouges on my hard bags with stickers.

[kewlmoose]

I put reflective stickers on the back of my hard bags and the rest of the stickers go on the tops & sides of the bags. I'm contemplating putting the MOA sticker on the bottom of the windscreen along with an AMA sticker.

[john1691]

On the hard bags, mostly reflective and all on the back. I did put one "Tail of the Dragon" sticker centered on the lower portion of the windshield, figuring I can peal it off when I get tired of it..................I added black reflective tape to the rear mud flap. and have more to add to the bags, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

[bobs98]

Haven't yet, except for the DoD sticker on the windshield.

Still trying to decide where (if) to put the MOA and Dragon. Maybe up front sometime. Not a big sticker on the bike fan. Or the car, either.

[kgadley01]

when I joined the MOA I proudly placed my decal on the back of the right saddle bag. then I sold the bike and had no decal for the new bike. I went to the country store and ordered a new one for the new bike. when it arrives I will place it on the rear of the right bag. :german

Dragon stickers on the front fender. Others on saddlebags. Everyone loves dragons! They're magic!

Most of the stickers on my bike are on the inside of the top case. I figure I had to but them somewhere. Also but a dragoon and a cow on my helmet. I did install the black 3-m stickers on my bags and top case. I saw them on another bike one night and was quite impressed with the results.

I have club stickers and also buy stickers where ever we go when traveling. Our garage wall is a virtual souvenier book of our travels. If we ever move, we will have to take the dry wall with us so we can remember where we've been.

I like those stickers. Do they come in silver? (I guess I'd have to go ride the Dragon though.)

Now thats something to be proud of. unless of course you have donated to the tree of shame. I am fortunate to live only 3 1/2 hours from the DRAGON.:bolt they come in all colors, even chrome...

[Rapid_Roy]

I have never rode the dragon, I am not really sure if it is that big a deal for me. My MOA sticker is proudly displayed on my rear fender on my bike though (one of them).

[screwtop]

I've got an MOA decal on the funky mud flap/plastic rear fender thingie on the stern of my GS. I have other (potentially inflammatory) stickers on the back of my saddlebags, but this is neither the time, nor the venue in which to discuss their content :whistle .

I had one of these affixed to the rear fender on my RT. The sticker is on a machined aluminum platform available from Wunderlich. I now have it mounted on the stabilizer bar on my GSA.

I also have an ADV sticker on the rear fender.

That's it.

I recently came into some SmugMug stickers and am thinking about putting one on my top box, but I've resisted the temptation so far.

[BubbaZanetti]

yeah, a couple on the side cases, haha

When you put stickers on your bike, always remember to place new stickers where they leaset conflict with the karma of the Grateful Dead Sticker; very important!

So they look like a big bug-eyed demon staring back at the people behind me.

... I need more stickers ...

[BubbaZanetti]

Is that Jon Tessler putting gloves on ? :whistle

and "mr touring tips" himself:laugh

[bubbagazoo]

My MOA sticker is in the lower left corner of my CL's windshield and my Rounders sticker is on the back of my left bag. The previous owner had put a ton of reflective tape in strategic places on the bike.

[Haydukelives]

Uhmmm

Love the reply string here. Love the dead stickers.

But I'm chuckling about the original post.

Where to "stick" your decal.

Where to "place" your decal would have been perfect.

But, hehe, where to stick it just keeps me comming back to the same answer.

hehe. To much easter candy maybe.:brad

[stealthrider]

Most of my stickers are reflective also.. I like black scotchlite so it's subdued during the daylight hours. I also have chevrons on the sides of the front fairing and large motomen on the saddle bags..

[stealthrider]

Here's the side view.

[RTRandy]

I started out keeping the bike void of decals for a couple of years, however once I stuck the MOA sticker on, it became like tattoos. Once you get one, you tend to keep adding. ( So I'm told) My decals were all badges of places I had been so they were all reminders of fond memories. All mine were on the side cases

My bike got sold a few weeks ago by my dealer so not sure what the new owner will end up doing with them. My new 08RT has painted side cases so I'm going to have to think long and hard about putting decals on my new ride.

[OfficerImpersonator]

My MOA patch is glued to the right shoulder of my 'Stich. A roundel patch is glued to my left shoulder. The sticker is on the back of my truck, next to another roundel, an extra I had lying around in my parts bin.

I wouldn't want to mess up the look of the bike with anything but very discreet stickers.

Saddlebags are for carrying your stickers.

I have my MOA sticker on the back end of my Krauser bag. I would have put the Lifetime one on but since it is larger than the regular sized sticker it wouldn't fit.

I had thought about asking the authorities to consider that when the current stock ran out that reducing the size of the Lifetime sticker to that of the regular one would be to my liking...not much point in that anymore with the demise of Lifetime Memberships.

[6659]

I put stickers on my stickers.

[SCQTT]

I have some bike stickers in my truck's back window. AMA, MOA, Wera, Tracks & Events & a few BMW stickers the old "BMW Motorcycles" bumper sticker.

BCR came with a bunch of stickers on it from the factory. I really do not like them, but I am going to keep it all original.

I put a few stickers inside my saddelbag lids on my GSs.

Mostly event or track stuff.

I will only display brand stickers of things I get for free.

I will run my dealer's license plate frame because they treat me so well.

I just put my 1970's vintage, cast aluminum, "Let's Do It In The Dirt" plate frame on my new X Challenge yesterday.
