Beautiful bike and great photos.

I can never get tired of looking at this bike; "eye candy" for sure. Clap

That's the dealer's sticker. The funny thing is, even with my 20/15 vision (which, BTW, I lost about 10 years back and can't seem to find anymore) and a magnifying glass I can barely make out the lettering. Good thing is it came off almost like it was made out of protective film you pull off of your new phone. Of course now I have to go back and take all my pictures over again since all I see now is that sticker.

In exchange for pulling their sticker off I'll give them a shout-out here, though. I bought it at Nielsen's in Lake Villa, IL. It was a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and my salesman (Mike Hamziuk) was very knowledgeable and great to work with.

I to have a 50+ ride home and I usually don't go out when its under 50F, but I can't wait any longer. Patience Grasshopper....

The weather is slowly improving here. Yesterday it was in the mid-50s so it was the perfect temp for riding with my "colder" weather gear. I'm good down to about the mid-40s with what I have. Below that, I'll just wait until I can go out and ride snowmobiles.

Thought it might be. My dealer likes to put a big sticker on bikes too. But they couldn't find a place on the CB so they left it off. Instead they put on a big ole ugly plastic lic. plate bracket. I took it off. Smile

Yup, got one of those dealer brackets, too. If they could have they probably would have installed some Vegas-style flashing neon but, all and all, it was a good experience, easy to "clean up".

My dealer slapped a company sticker on the swing arm, but it came off easily just like the stickers on the gas tank Big Grin

What did you use to get the stickers off the gas tank?
