Re: bike stickers?
What i would do is see how it is on the bike without the stickers and go from there. Only hang up might be that the sprayers will want to laquer over it before they hand them back to you, and you might want the stickers laquered over.
It depends what you like, if you want what i call understated, then go for a minimal amount of stickers, such as just the ZXR on the tank and kawasaki up the side panel where it normally goes and maybe something on the seat unit. Or if you want something really minimal just have it plain blue.
Personally i dont like too many stickers, see the odd bike now and then thats got a sticker advertising the name of every aftermarket part attached to the bike which makes them far too busy.

Re: bike stickers?
i just got a ninja sticker made from reflective stuff (like off hi viz jackets) for the rear seat. yay! got to come from america. nooo! still unsure about the side though. did think about some tribal patterns but theres a lot of chavvy novas like that round here and i dont really want to be associated with them. ill put some pics up as soon as its sorted, although that may be some time if it carries on raining. 
anything is possible with enough time and money. and an open mind...

Re: bike stickers?

Re: bike stickers?
was advised before by some guys not to laquer over your stickers as if you come off you can then scape off the stickers and re laeuer to get rid of scratches but if stickers are sparayed in then you need to rub it all down.
