Hi all
Does anyone know where you get the famous brands covers for the rear shocks reservoir(used for compression damping), ive seen ones like baked beans,redbull etc.
Always wondered where you can buy them from??

I'll bet that you could get a jack daniels sticker made that'd fit. Probably you could source an image quite easily.

Nice one now i forgot they did those cans of jd and coke, i wonder if they do them over here. Failing that as burty says i could source a sticker out from the graphics guy i use.
CUlater....how did you stick your one on??
Also can you tell me what brake caliper and carbs would look like in your native tongue please, im trawling european ebays for transalp spares!!

You cut the cans top and bottom and then cut it lenghtwise.
wrap it around the schockreservoir and tighten it with the stock clamp...
0.33 ml. cans are a little bit to big so i used an smaller 0.20 ml. can, that way you see more of the text.
