Default had some scratches on my tank.

i had some scratches on my tank, when i bought the bike, and just don't want to spend the cash to get the tank painted yet. I work at a vinyl graphic shop and came up with a temp solution, i made some templates and printed out some decals, I have six different designs and have just been playing around, to see which one I like. Here are two of them, may not be every bodies style but I think it will work for now. plus i can always swap out decals in about ten minutes.

Pretty awesome, and you can have a new tank at every bike night.

Definitely a bonus of your employment and your ability, they look great. I've been looking around for a 74 Cubic Inch sticker for my stock a/c cover with no luck. Think you could hook a fellow rider up? PM if you're so inclined.
