I've had this bike for more than 14 years. I really like it, and it has gone through lot's of changes over the years. In all that time, and through a couple of long road trips it's never gotten a mark on it.


About a month ago I did a dumbass thing and let another bike fall over against it. Fortunately, it didn't dent the tank. However, it left a very noticeable scratch down through the primer right by the high-side emblem.


My option's seemed to be repaint the tank, repaint the entire bike, or pretend it wasn't there. About the same time there was a thread on here about "Tattooed Ride" decals. I decided to give it a try.


I'm pleased with the results. The scratch is still there, but unless you know where it is and are looking for it you don't see it.

I'm happy with the results.

 

I like it.

 

I thought that's what those fake bullet hole stickers were for LOL. either works!

 

I just put a bandaid over scratches on my paint... I hate boo-boos.

 

Very nicely done! You'd never know the tank was damaged.

 

I know, it's an old thread but had to comment.. I never cared for the 03 paint scheme "BUT"
I really like it... It's subtle... Nice....

 

I had a 99' Kawasaki 1500 Drifter at one time that had a small ding by the gas cap (previous owner installed). I found an Indian head nickle concho and just glued it over the ding. Worked well and people often commented on my "Indian" addition to the Indian styled bike.
