Photochop Pro chiming in here....
Below is my beloved Hot Pink Sporty with a sidecar. I know, I know, you see a Sunglo Ultra. Well, again, I am a photochop Pro.
Now, I admit, there is a single pixel off in this pic, that only the best of the best could ever possibly detect.
Who's going to be "Da Man!" to find it?????????

Thank you Mongoose66.

You cleared your name and gained a lot of respect. Sorry for doubting you.


I learned something about pictures and pixelation too. Bonus!

I don't think it's a PS either. The shadows reflection (lower left) and the nose of the truck and the reflection of him would be out of wack. Kinda makes me wonder what other kind of shoddy workmanship may be making it out of the factory.

Default upside down emblem

I can't believe I am adding to this waste of time. I must have too much free time but here goes.
It sounds like you want to keep the upside down emblem. Have fun and let us know how long it takes to get tired of nice people explaining to you how they are smart and you are dumb because you didn't notice that your label is upside down.
Also let us know how what kind of reaction you get to your explaination. Based on the reaction here it doesn't sound like much fun.
Unless you like confrontation. In that case you should have some good stories to tell.
Trouble is will anybody believe them?
As far as increased value, a 2 headed baby is rare but would you pay extra for it?

Welcome to the forum Mongoose66. Hope you didn't mind being called a liar, fakir, troll etc. A lot of us have not been able to ride for a while and some are getting cabin fever. You got yourself a nice bike. If you keep the decal upside-down and people remark about it, just say "You're kidding, I never noticed that!" Ride safe.

Thanks dabluesguy. As evidenced by my novice handling of the posts, I joined with this is thread. It was quite a first blogging experience- I think my cherry is gone now. Had some fun so I think I'll hang around a while.

Edited to see all posts.

OK; Leave it. WTF-repair order? It's a badge stuck on there with some double sided foam tape. I can't see how much the RO is for due to size, but I wouldn't think it cost more than 10 minutes labor and $1 worth of tape to fix.
