I agree. Simplify it. You don't need a badge on every part. There's an old design saying... "Less is more." It's true.

VHT with a clearcoat. no rattle can clear tho, its automotive clear/hardener from a gun.

i know less is more, im gonna get smaller decals made asap, its just all i had to work with at the time, its an easy fix.

and !wire is when you hide all the messy wiring on the fenders. you simply drilla hole and run it all under then fenders.

Very nice work. Clean engine bays sure speak volumes for your attention to detail. Did you pull your front fenders off when you painted the front cross piece that the air box bolts too?
