anyone go a bit mad with sticker bling?

keep thinking the grey & black machine could do with a bit of sparkle.

aint paying the cash for carbon so need some cheap dressage. Cowl and headlight trim decals look best but at £60 a set aint cheap too.
Found the sponsor logo package for side fairings but could be a step too chavish.

any ideas?

if done right to be honest stickers look good, ie the make it look like a track bike style

too much does indeed look chavvy

go understated

Stickers on bike panels always make me think the owner is hiding something under the sticker.

Especially if they are on side panels ;)

Very tacky, and adds unnecessary weight.

PJ ... just leave it as it is. :2up

Limited eddition "Phantom" GSXR1000 is a smart looking bike IMHO no need for aditional sticker bling.


Are you just doing this as Jay is about to go on a "Blinging Frenzy" for his Triumph :confused ;)

Stomp grips are the only sticker that I'd use if I was in your shoes.

I reckon your bike looks the dogs as it is. :cool :2up
