Ninja Sticker REMOVED! What do ya think?!?

Stillblunted · October 13th, 2010, 11:35 AM

Peeled one side off and it took forever, leaving a full sticker of residue. The other side came off like butter....which was kind of weird but not going to argue

Let the residue sit with a spray of goo gone for a few mins, and any other crap i couldn't get off i used Windex. Looks awesome - Glad i did it.

Thoughts?

Pics are Before and After.

Looks great!

Oddly, mine came with a Ninja decal on only one side.

huh? did you buy the bike new or used?

I like it either way. I think taking it off looks good on a black or white bike.

One suggestion when removing is to use a method similar to removing window tint by using a steamer to loosen the glue before trying to remove. If you can steam and get the slightest bit of a corner up, you can steam under the sticker and it will come off very easily with little residue. Also, ammonia and water and sun helps remove them too.

Well, did buy it used, but it only had 17 miles on it, the dude only had it for a couple weeks and only rode it once. I suppose he could have removed one of the decals, but that's kinda strange.

I kind of like it - the clean look on one side and full Ninja on the other.

But looks good man!

I think the black bikes look much better when de-badged. I took my Ninja and Kawasaki decals off because I like the minimalist look.

Looks good minus the decal

It is weird not seeing the decal I'm so used to seeing, but I do like the look of your black bike w/o it.

One thing I like about the looks of Kawi bikes over others is their very conservative use of decals. I'm not against a two-toned paint scheme, but the one tone looks classier to me than the more complicated schemes of Yami, Suzi, etc. It looks more "grown up." After all, Ducati wouldn't "sticker-up."
