Am I a tool for adding stickers?
So here is a fun meaningless question or poll for you guys, what is your overall feeling towards stickers on your bike?
All winter my bike has hung out in the garage and I have done a number of mods to it. In doing so, I have a tool box drawer full of stickers and we have long winters up here. So to dress the bike up a little bit, I threw a few on the bike. Now, nothing over the top, just a few on the white number plate on each side. You know, a KandN, Acerbis, FMF, Renthal and the likes.
I have ridden my bike the last couple of days and a couple of people have already commented on my stickers like "Do those stickers add 5 horsepower?" or "your going to need the big bore kit just to haul those stickers around". I just think that they are jealous.
I don't know, I kind of like them, it reminds me that it isn't a stock bike anymore. I know some of you like the stealth clean look, but come on, the bike is lime green, there really is nothing stealth about it.
What is your guys opinions?

ehh, I'm not a huge sticker fan, but if your bike has the parts, then it's OK in my book. I do laugh at all the MX bikes plastered with stickers of crap they don't even have. It's like the Honda Civic with the fart-can muffler and stickers all over it.. All show.
I've seen four strokes with stickers on the bike advertising reeds and two stroke oil. That's kinda dumb.
Bottom line is it's your bike and do what you want! If people give you crap challenge them to a dual.

I'm generally a "no sticker" guy, but 2 products impressed me so much on my KLX that I put 2 of their smaller stickers on my side covers...Race Tech and Neutech Tubliss. I will admit to a bit of pimp-bling'itis on using the Race Tech fork and swingarm stickers, but I thought they looked good there, and I am a firm believer in what they did to my bike's performance.

I don't do stickers. Think they attract the wrong kind of attention and much prefer the "sleeper" approach. If you did something profound like make it a 351 then I would agree with a removal of the 250 and addition of the 351 figure.
