Alex's Reflective Bag decals

[Alex]

I just finished up a set of decals adding the Red tuning fork logo at the bottom of the reflective decals. Below are some photos of them installed on my new 07. In addition, still offer the other variations of the decals.

Erm, nine selections:

That is the one I have. Obviously, the most tasteful selection.

PS, Congrats on the '07! :good:

As far as tasteful and extremely functional farkles go, for less than 23 bucks, delivered, you simply cannot beat these saddlebag reflectors. If you do any night time riding whatsoever, I HIGHLY recommend them.

Sweet I'll take a set of #3. See my PayPal.

Thanks

Do you have any pics of what these look like on a Sliver FJR? What colors do they come in?

+1K This product from Alex is IMO considered a MUST HAVE safety farkle for your FJR. :dribble:

Does anyone have a picture of the red decals installed. I'd really like a set but would like to see the red before I make up my mind.

Thanks,

Erik

Alex, how hard are these to get off? I have a set of plain ones that I got back when I first got my bike - hell I mounted them before I ever rode the thing, but I like the graphics.

Let me give you my experience:

I didn't know that you MUST use something like soapy water to apply these and screwed up my first set by trying to put them on dry. Getting them off was a pain. I'll never remove the current set unless they get ruined. The gumout I used on the first set discolored the bags under the stickers.

Nice to know Skyway is spending some on farkles too

Hey Alex - I didn't wait to see your newest creations, dial up connection and all..

but great to hear you are BACK with a new 07! Seriously dude, your stuff is quality at reasonable prices.

My 'original Alex' stickers are still on, not bubbling, waterproof, and I've very happy with them.

I recall your thread about selling the older FJR to promote the biz.. and am very happy to see you back!

Huh?

I put mine on dry with no problems or issues. They are still going strong.

Huh? I put mine on dry with no problems or issues.

I was thinking the same thing. Mine went on fine also without water. Maybe we just got lucky?

 

[cota95]

Great product...had them on both my FJRs. Good job Alex

 

[fhaze]

Nod to the dry install as well. Zero Issues.

:dribble: - I don't even want to think about how much $ I've spent on farkles for the FJR. :blink:

+1 on not using any water during the install, and going strong 2+years later. What say you Alex?

You MUST install them dry. I tested it with a water and alcohol mix, and it completely disables the adhesion. Here is a little insert from 3M's description

"3M™ Engineer Grade Reflective Sheeting Series 3270 with pressure sensitive adhesive backing is a durable material with enclosed lens glass beads, designed to be used where maximum brightness at night is not required and in areas of light traffic with little ambient lighting. Application to standard traffic sign substrates with a hand or pneumatic squeeze roller applicator"

It has a pressure sensitive backing, so if you don't have it aligned on the bags, you can "snap" is off the surface using a swift motion. (that is if you haven't pressed it down)

I simply align the top 1/2 of the decal on the edge of the bag, then using my thumb, I slide side to side working incrementally down the entire decal, and I’ve put on quite a few kits without any bubbles.

I'm in the process of posting a page dedicated to simple clean install instructions.

Thanks everyone for your support, and yes. I love the new 07 and plan on racking up lots of miles with her.
