Anyone ordered new decals?

pdx954 · 06-24-2003, 8:36 AM

I was going to order some new stickers from www.tapeworks.com Just wanted to check with the org first to see if anyone has gone through them before.

I'm still new to the forum and you guys just seem to know everything.

Yep. I removed the stickers off the rear of my 929 and replaced them with stickers from tapeworks, great service. *

The tapeworks guys are awesome! Great to deal with.

my Tape Works additions. VERY satisfied with their product and support.

I was actually just thinking about getting some of the decals for my bike. I want to get rid of the 2 orange decals (CBR on the nose, RR on the rear). Going to do the CBR upfront in White, what color for the rear though?

Should I just go for the metalic gray that the 929 is and make that all one color?

Sirkbac · 06-24-2003, 12:08 PM

Went with the white CBR's, Silver RR's, Silver Honda on the lower fairing. *We'll see how it looks when it's done....

This Kit minus the wing shadows, $63 shipped.

PS, call them up when you order, much easier especially if you have color changes. *They are pretty good on the phone.

Tricktape = Bad

Tapeworks makes quality stuff. I put the white wing shadows on my red/black 929 and they look factory. I've gotten compliments on them.

use the wet method much easier to get everthing aligned!

itsdesignateddave · 06-24-2003, 11:50 PM

I used them and did an entire bike kit. I thought it was great, other than all the time i spent working on it other than riding *

Use water and dish soap, wet the decals, then use the sliperyness of the water and soap to slide the decal around till your happy with the position, then squeegie the water out from underneath. Usually end up with no air bubbles and no 'whoops, better peel that off and try again' mistakes. I've done it a few times on Car window decals and bike decals, works great. Just clean the hell out of the area 1st.

Did mine dry and didn't have any problems. Another thumbs up for Tapeworks - my order was on time and exactly what I ordered. Good stuff, too.

Really? This works for stickers? I thought it would have an affect on the adhesive. Sounds like a great method if it works, maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Sirkbac · 06-25-2003, 12:29 PM

Yeah, just don't put in too much soap, just alittle to make it slipery. Done it a ton of times on various decals and 3m Clear protective tape. Allows you to slide the decal around and then just press it down. Thats how I'll be doing mine shortly.

The install went well, I did goof up one part. The 'C' on the right side 'CBR' got screwed up. It's seperate from the rest of the sticker so I just need to order a new decal and replace that one part and I'm golden. You can't tell unless your looking closely, but I'm VERY picky about my bike and it won't do as it is. I like it, was a tricky install, lots of thin little edges that like to get pulled up when you remove the guide tape. Have some water and a squeegie handy, makes a big diffrence.

Close up of the CBR, used a razor blade to get it to match up to the stock decal on the split.

My girlfriend doing her best not to fall off the newly stickered 929rr. I told her she could have it once she fit on it....I think I'm safe for now.

pdx954 · 06-30-2003, 2:12 AM

Great pics! Thanks for the help. I should hopefully get mine in this week and install them as soon as I get them. I'll post some pics as soon as I get it done.
