This matter is no longer up for debate. Im putting the vinyl OVER the clear.

The end. Thanks.

Your bike, you do what you want but for the record zoom in on the bike of the month pictures. Vinyl under clear.  


And my original 650

  

Im glad for you that yours are under the clearcoat. Mine wont be.

Yes and if you look carefully you will see that after I asked the question,
I arrived at an answer.

You mention vinyl decals, but are you sure?  Do you have a link to the decals in question?  Most decal kits I've seen are water slide, or rub on, not vinyl.

Rest assured the decals I expect to arrive soon are 100% vinyl, and nothing else.

It’s just that striping under the clear coat looks so much more finished than striping over the clear. A lot of new budget models have striping over the clear coat and it looks cheap.
I have a 2017 Z900 with striping over the clear and I dislike it very much. I try not to look at it. The striping and decals are prone to chipping.

You asked and then answered your own question. These folks are just trying to give you they're opinion for which you asked.With out attitudes
