All these stickers... what do you do?

Would you leave the stickers on your new car? Have you ever sold a motorcycle or car and heard anyone say, "Hey, where's the gas tank sticker?" Probably not.

Good morning, in all seriousness, I have two views to consider. First, as you mention about originality, if you plan to show the bike in the future where such things add point towards a trophy, you must keep them on. The bike must remain stock and pure. If you also bought the bike to hopefully make money on it in the future (or at least keep high resale value), then again, keep the stickers.

For the other thought, if the above are not within your scope, remove the stickers carefully and ride the living heck out of the bike. After all, one does not stop having sex with their wife so that she is fresh for the next guy.

Rocket win a trophy?? maybe in the uckin ugly category

Make money from a Rocket, maybe the BSA Rocket 3, doubt if the new rockets 2004 on will be worth much.

How many days before the next guy do you have to stop doing your wife?????????

I remove the obvious ones that are in plain view. Gas tank, oil tank, fenders, etc...

You may have seen more labels if you went further than 3" in.

If you've gone beyond the run-in kms, the only valid reason for leaving stickers on the bike is laziness. Apart from looking pretty stupid, the glue can do permanent damage to paintwork over time, especially on the tank. if i was buying a used bike I’d actually expect to pay less for one with them still there.

I had the head mechanic remove all my stickers before I took delivery. He said he likes to peel them off. I said have at it. Leaving a sticker on a tank is considered the ultimate incompetent nerd sign around here.
