About applying and removing stickers: the window cleaner hack. When you apply a sticker of any kind, wet both the surface and the entire glue side of the sticker, this way when you put it on your bike it will slide across the surface so you can always get the perfect alignment and plenty of time to squeeze out potential air bubbles. It will take half an hour for the soap to dry from under the sticker but it won't weaken the glue at all and the end results look like they were applied in the factory. Also works great for tinted film and really anything involving adhesives. Window cleaner is also great to remove stickers. If you have to remove them get a plastic razor and pick an edge that looks easy to lift, and spray some window cleaner on it. Give it a second, then lightly tap the plastic razor on it, don't try to lift it, just wedge it between the surface and the sticker and pull away as soon as you feel resistance. You're not trying to lift the sticker, just creating a gap for the soap to slip under and form a layer between the sticker and your bike. When eventually you have done this enough times to create a lip you can actually grip, start sloooowly pulling it BACK *NOT UP* as flush as you can to the body of the bike with one hand, with the other keep spraying window cleaner as the edge recedes. If you do this carefully enough not only it will leave 0 glue residues, 9 times out of 10 you can even reuse the sticker. If you get some residues just use the plastic razor to clean them, you won't scratch the paint no matter how hard you try.

I worked in vehicle wrapping, can confirm we did this although some vinyls or sticker materials will wear a lot quicker if you use this method. I reccomend using a heat gun once you've got the sticker in the right position to dry the water a little faster if it's a smaller sticker and push bubbles out once it is starting to dry that way it doesn't shift ☺️

An addition to your list, is a very cool mod I just did to my bike earlier today. It is hooking up a cigarette/usb outlet to the handle bar. It is super handy for gps systems on longer trips, or even just to charge your phone while you are on the road. It is also incredibly inexpensive, some models only costing a few bucks, and can be found both in hardware stores or ebay. Instalation is also some of the most easy to do jobs, just hook positive nd negative to the battery, cable tie the wiring somewhere which is not exposed, and you are done!

Nice video and some great ideas. Except maybe the flush mount indicators. Many of them are less visible to other motorists, and the last thing we need is to be less conspicuous. Also, bar end mirrors look cool, especially on retro and cafe racer machines, but keep in mind you’ll be diverting your eyes from the road ahead just a little linger every time you look down at those mirrors, compared to the factory set. But for some bikes there are inexpensive but sleeker looking mirrors to replace the OEMs though, and that might a better option. Just my two cents anyway. Keep up the great work!

I know this video is old but regardless, one thing I've always done when putting on decals (and would work for this as well) is take a spray bottle, use just slightly soapy water, apply it to the area that your putting the sticker on (you don't need much), then place the sticker, it won't immediately stick and you can slide it around until you have it where you want it, then gently dry (just dab, don't wipe), make sure there are no bubbles, and leave it to dry. I picked that one up from some old guys when we were restoring old sleds, works well on cars too.

Drag bars were the first appearance mod I did. Helped to take the "Dad Bike" look off of it. License plate tail hook dorky thing gone too. Exhaust wrap is a cheap mod that will spiffy up old scratched pipes or new ones if you like. Vinyl Wrap paint and pin stripe tape lets you get creative as often as you want. Doing my tank next. For a little more money, pick some pieces off your bike for powder coating (winter project). Think contrast and definition with out adding chrome. Vinyl decals can be creative. Makes a big difference.

I have CRG 'Arrow' mirrors and the image in the mirror is crystal clear and shows a very large area behind me. Far superior to my stock mirrors, which are actually larger. They also do not vibrate like bunny ear mirrors because they don't have a long arm.

I always tell fellow-riders, 'be careful of reflector and lighting changes!'...in the U.S. and Canada, ALL VEHICLE LIGHTING must comply with FMVSS (or for Canada, CMVSS) laws...specifically FMVSS/CMVSS 108. If the lens meets the standards, it is stamped 'D.O.T. - SAE 108'...if there is no marking for this, the light or reflector DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD...and gives less than minimum reflectivity or lighting output, and you can be cited for it! If you are curious, you can look up 'Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards' on wiki, or simply look up FMVSS Section 108 itself, to see what is expected out of a lens.
