thanks man, when my friends see the punisher logo they think of me. my girl even bought me "punisher punch" lol

i'm awaiting a 3rd set of led accent lights, i saw them on a chopper and they looked bada$$! and since they would add a little safety as well, i'm in!

i was thinking of debatching her since it's gonna be a while b4 i paint, but i think the graphics are clearcoated on....not sure though...might have to ask that ? next!

There is a step by step on how to remove the badges, it's fairly easy and you won't scratch or mess up the clear if you go slow.

Definitely post some up I'd like to see your bike!

As for peeling the badges, heat it up with a blow dryer for the badges metal covering the air box. For the tank heat it up and run some dental floss behind it in an up and down motion and then get a plastic scraper or razor I used the razor and scrape off the remaining glue, goo gone the residue, then a buff/wax and your good!

kinda tiny, but look lots better than the stock ones... funny how OEM signals really havent changed at all since the early 70s.... is there a DOT "face area" spec?
