'96 Buell S1 Tank Lettering

[hotshoe]

My '96 S1's BUELL letters have "bubbled" up and I am in dire need of something to replace them with. Does anyone know if the raised plastic letters that came on the later models will (A.) cover the existing white plastic letters, and (B.) available at H-D (C.) anyone on this forum have any for sale? Thank you. reply to [email protected]

I always keep an eye out for stickers on ebay because someday I'd like to replace the gold xb12 stickers with the original silver xb9 stickers on mine ever since I swapped plastics with someone, and all I ever usually see on ebay are tuber stickers. I've thought about using some but I think they'd be too different to work right and I'm afraid to try a different shape sticker because I figure chances are good that the plastic is faded underneith.

I had the same problem with my 98 s3. The problem is that the stock decals are cleared over into the paint you could slap some new decals over the stock ones but I'm sure you will start to get more bubbles that will bleed out into the the paint around the decal and after a while the whole tank will bubble thats what happened to me. I'm going to repaint it this winter,I had some stickers made at a sign shop a few years ago for like 20 bucks.

see under the decal the whole tank did that after awhile.

i had 3 s1's they all did it, best thing i did was to go with the raised decals. i repainted one cleared then put the thin ones on and they bubbled. i always wondered if tank liner would work on these tanks or if it would eat the plastic
