those forks look like they need some protection.

Hehe Real Decals, Chinese parts!

The decal is worth more than the inverted forks probably.

Don't forget the fake exhaust decal and Fox fender decals! The only name brand thing on this bike is the real pro taper bars . I thought it would be funny to plaster it with decals, but I've removed most of them since the pics. I might put some back on since they made the bike look more interesting.

Ironically, my BMW R1200RT has no decals, Neither does my 2021 F350 dually.

The decals I couldn't handle were the fake factory ones that said "Strongest" all over. Strongest what??

The hawk didn't look too bad from a distance with the decals removed before the changes, but once you got close to it, the unpainted plastics looked horrible.

the coolest thing about these bikes is they're so affordable, you can do what ever you want to them without worrying about it effecting their re-sale value. I went total gray man on my TBR7, removed all identifying decals etc.
