would you put a rather large Carpe sticker on your windscreen?
my intent for the new carpe sticker was that one carpedian would easely recognise another carpedian bike with the sticker on the windscreen.
which brings me to this point

would you put a rather large Carpe sticker on your windscreen?

-we are working on a design. something clean, straightforward, non offending... -
The one on my mkII fitted perfectly along the top and looked great....would do same with mkI no probs. Also when sun shines through screen it writes the web address on yer tank in shadows.
Doin valve clearances? Use dappers valve shim exchange program and the job will be carroty - Free (other than you postin me yer shims) for sporting members.
For the most part I've been anti-stickers on my vehicles. I'd consider the Carpe TDM though, just cuz y'all are so cool and I'm obliged to be a part of this.

depends on the design, if the colour scheme fits with my bike then i dont really mind how big it is
if its not quite to my tastes then something smaller is more likely to get displayed
