Pics of the RSV4 Factory after de-sticker, etc.

[Shaman]

I tore the skin off both thumbs and a finger trying to desticker this sucker, so I am sharing the results.

Stickers still on... two giant ones right under the right clip-on. Bleah.

Note that a RSV4 is smaller (and slimmer) than a R6.

Other side (and the R6 rider, Karen):

Stubborn sunuvva sticker that caused me so much trouble.. paper just below fuel cap:

Result of blisters, Goo Gone, WD-40, Methyl Hydrate and a Pampered Chef soft plastic scraper:

Oy Vey.

Finally....

and a blurry pic of how much smaller the RSV4 is than the Tuono:

sweet bike, where did you end up buying it?

 

[Shaman]

I ended up getting it from Wheelsport in Orleans.

 

[STARSHIP]

Are you keeping the Tuono?

 

[Roomie]

In the future.... I've been told boil a pot of water with a rag or a cloth in it. Take it out and sit it on the decal you want to remove. Apparently this will melt the glue and it comes right off. Of course my friend had the advice after I suffered and had all of mine off. Gorgeous bike by the way. Jealous :thumbup:

Yes, I'm keeping the Tuono. They are very different (and both very involving) experiences.

Bonus points if anyone can name where the outside photos were taken. Shouldn't be that tough.

I could give it away, but its in my backyard (hint). I will leave it to someone else.
Beautiful bike :thumbright:

I've had fantastic results using a hairdryer. It melts the glue and also helps keep the decals intact rather then tearing into smaller pieces.

I want this bike so bad

Love the bike. Looks much better without the stickers. Are you going to change the "Flexible dryer-vent" looking exhaust?

Oh yeah. And take the marlin pole off the back of it.

Parked up at the gym with a couple of my friends... and one of them owns my "old" GSX-R 1000 with ported head, full system, degreed cams, etc.

Makes for a colourful pic.
