    This bike gives me 'the horn' everytime I see it. Not sure about the decal. I think a stripe might look better. I like the photoshop stripe that POS did (with the angled ends).

    Tanks Zooks; Did you notice I moved the script Suzuki decal to the front fender

          Subtle would have been putting a sticker that spelled 'Susuki' or 'Suziki' and seeing if anyone noticed it (you could even have tried 'Honda' just to test us dimmer ones).

          Looks nice I reckon.

            I'm just using PC Paint which is normally installed on any PC. See the attachment on where to find it.

            I will have to find Suzuki text in a different color so it contrasts with both black and white unless you want it shrunk to be no larger than the black stripe. Then white is fine.

                How about this? The font is not right but you should get the idea.

                  something not quite right there, boy i wish i was a computer wizard.
                  now you got me thinking maybe the suzuki decal right up front with the black stripe behind it so it kinda matches the badges and stripes on the tank and side panels?

                    PC paint is not too hard, you need to play with the pictures. You will be able to tell when it is right.

                    Try teh PC Paint like I showed. You are on a PC right?

                              thanks for all the input. decided to get rid of it now.
                              gonna try and come up with a suitable stripe to match the redt of the bike.
                              will keep you updated.
