nbowersock Posted September 21, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2010 Have any of you come up with a way to mount your DOD decals that won't ruin the paint/chrome/windshield? I was thinking about putting the sticker on a plate, then somehow attaching the plate to the bike (windshield mount bolts?). This would allow me to remove it someday without damaging the bike surface where the decal was. If you have done anything along this line please share your ideas. Thanks, Nico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted September 21, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Cycle Visions has premade plates they are 30 bucks, however you can make one just like theirs with aluminum stock just not as fancy. I was planning on mounting on the passing lamp bar. You may also want to check that your base will allow it on a plate, I have been places if it looks removable they will not accept it. http://www.cyclevisions.com/chrome/military-sticker-plate/ Here is what someone did on another forum: http://media.photobucket.com/image/military%20sticker%20plate/jmohrmann/DODDecal.jpg Edited September 21, 2010 by etcswjoe Add Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkuhr Posted September 21, 2010 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2010 On my old honda 360 I had a plate mounted to left front brake caliper bracket, secured with the caliper bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Ghost Posted September 23, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2010 Mine is mounted on the left lower windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecb Posted September 23, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2010 I put mine here, on the left fork cover. That is where I have haad mine for years. Redstone Arsenal just came out with a letter saying everyone who now gets a decal has to put it on the left fork. Guess it kinda helps so they don't have to look all over the bike when it comes through the gate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double D Posted September 24, 2010 Share #7 Posted September 24, 2010 :sign yeah that:Fort Campbell requires that the decal be on the bike. Left lower fork is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top Posted September 24, 2010 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2010 Mine is mounted on a aluminum plate. Was mounted on the back of the windshield on my RSTD. haven't quit figured out how to mount it on the Venture. Being retired the POST i have been to never say anything as long as i have the proper gear on. Since those stickers don't come off willingly i am not going to put it on the chrome forks.

If you spit shine it, it will match the forks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double D Posted September 24, 2010 Share #11 Posted September 24, 2010 I have changed the decal on my bike twice, due to expiration and I have not had a problem getting them off. I use a new razor blade scrapper and some WD 40. They come right off with not damage to the chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
