Yea Homer I did. They still take a little shaping to get the right fit though.
And then you have to glue them in, One thing I found was you glue then let it set then pour more glue over each glued section then do that again, because any twisting will break the mesh free of the glue if its not deep enough.
The set I bought didnt have the air intake mesh (so mine is sitll black)
I know this is an old post but I want to do a similar thing and change my red decals to gold. How hard are the decals to remove? What $'s for the new set and where from?
I want the mesh in gold too. On a black bike that should look pretty good.
That blue detailing =the best black busa I have ever seen
I've seen it suggested not to remove original decals as they are under the clear ( just put on new ones over the top ///
not sure if accurate ... and not willing to dig at the edge to find out
Decals should be on top of paint, not under clear. Use a hairdryer not heat gun to heat decals then you should be able to carefully peal off. Expect some colour deviation as the decal has protected paint for weather.
I am bout to peel off rear indicator pod decals as I want them changed.. My biggest issue is doing it with warping the original shape much..

I got a set of decals from Fleabay....red with silver under...from memory they were about $60 plus shipping...around $75 I think. Will be getting a new set sometime in the future. The old ones were not too hard to remove and fitting the new ones were a doddle as long as you are confident.
Just checked they are $49:00.US plus $27:00 for shipping....so about $90:00au or so

I wasnt to fussy getting each side absolutely perfect....unless you actually measure each of my decal's position you wouldnt guess they are not perfectly aligned with each other.

Thanx ppl! Mmm yeah putting decals over the top of old ones would work if the same size, which from fleabay might be an issue. After I get the new discs (bent one) the mesh is next.
