"Badge" emblems

Here in the UK we use the word polite as replacement for police.

Kawasaki Polite 1000 would read nicely?

I like it, but I'd put the Kawasaki K in the middle. Or put "heat", "fuzz", "cop".....

How about just "Kawasaki KZ1000P" could even put the version number at the end.

You can get custom printed decals you know?

. .. "patrol"


I know! "Ticket-cycle"

It's not my bike, and cannot ask my buddy as he passed away this past April.
Other friends may know, and I will ask.

Looks like an LTD seat.

I don't know if you're a Top Gear fan...

I'm going to do a proper write-up of this at some point, but here's the quick version.

This process requires an inkjet printer, and the materials will cost about $40.

- Go to Staples (or wherever) and buy these: Avery® 8665 Clear Inkjet Full Sheet Shipping Labels, 8-1/2" X 11", 25/Box

- While you're there, buy these: Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets, 3mil, Letter Size, 50/Pack, (73601)

- Print the desired image on to a sheet of the shipping label stuff.

- Before you do any cutting, laminate the label sheet with the laminating sheet. Be sure to press the two sheets firmly together.

- Cut out your new custom decal and stick it on your bike. Beware of curves (heh) - these decals like a flat surface.

I made a set for my bike using these materials and this process and it worked beautifully. I got caught in several rain events the first day out and everything was fine: no peeling, etc. And they can be removed easily as well, leaving no residue behind.

I made the first set for a bike show just for grins, but after I do the tank swap I'll make a permanent set.
