Original Fairing stickers....

#1 Post by MattG#116 » Mon Jun 23, 2014 11:58 am

My original fairing stickers are looking very tired now. I have a couple of questions regarding this -
> Can you get replacement OEM Falco sticker set still?
> If so, where from? (I can't find them)
> Anyone had experience removing the old ones? Do I risk pulling paint/lacquer off? Best to use heat? Hot soapy water? ..... not bother?

Thanks.

A bit of heat and WD40 or similar to remove sticky residue worked for me.

Didn't bother replacing.

If you want to replace them take the bike to someone who does vehicle signs /stickers, they can take pics, scan and reproduce to exact size and hopefully exact or very close to original colours.
You should be able to view drafts until you are happy.
Seen it done,scanning hand written Chinese lettering reproduced as 3ft high vehicle signage

I had mine fit today. They look great. Especially that I had the blue highlights on the stickers changed to red :smt002

Looking good :smt023

Where did you get the belly pan? The more I see with them the more I want one.

From skidmarx. Good quality and fits really well.

It finished the Falco off perfectly IMHO.

The stickers on it were £3 a pair off eBay.

Ah yes I've got their Web page bookmarked. I think I'm going to get one soon. New rearsets first though. And I'll probably have to stick 4 new boots on the car before any more money becomes available to spend on the bike :smt012
