    big or small - decals

    so what do you guys/gals think.....

    I got the new decals in for the tank, smaller they are, but more closer to the original ones on the tank, I also have the larger ones, are they overpowering, do the little ones get lost.....

    which ones do I use

    Help....


    Large





    Small





    Comparison





    Original

    I would probably go for the small, but think both sizes look great.

      the smaller ones look far better. the big ones look "too big" IMO

          Small looks closer to the original size. I say small.

              Funny, I would have gone with the larger one, but I also tend to be a Contrarian.

                I also think the big ones were pretty cool. A bit shouty perhaps, but that's okay, people should know that it's a SUZUKI that just blew their doors off and not some kawasaki...

                What are you planning on doing with the larger ones if you don't mind me asking? I've been playing with the idea of removing my tank and side-cover badges and replacing them with some decals....Hmmm

                  Small looks like it should be the one, the larger ones are disproportionate to the tank.

                    Wasn't planning anything at the moment with them, was just going to put them away and use them if I ever needed them, if the ones I put on get damaged....

                    Make me an offer I cannot refuse, and lets see where they end up....

                        I wouldn't have put either one of them on... but then again I like the "clean" look, the only thing identifying my bike as a Suzi is the small decal on the rear fender over the tail light (even that is under the luggage rack and can only be seen from directly behind me). I get asked all the time "what is that thing?" and jaws drop when I tell them it's a GS550....

                          That looks good. IMO the large would have been too big.

                            The ones you used are definitely more in scale to the size of the tank.

                              Yes, I think the larger ones would have been over powering, they are actually scaled for a 85 Katana, if I remember correctly, as to what the guy said...

                              If I only had them before, and had the clear coat put on to seal them in....
