Default German Adventure Decals Color

Hi Everyone,

I have a cherry red Wee and was wondering what color German adventure decals to put on her. Personally I would like the white ones but some of my friends suggested getting yellow decals and others said I should rather go with light grey. So to settle this I am putting up a poll to see what color takes the lead! (Note that the color will be reflective).

Here is a pic of where I would like to put these decals (yellow circles):

The black plastic under the tank has a pebbled texture. It doesn't take stickers as well as a flat surface.

I was thinking of making a stencil and spraying it on? Too expensive to order from overseas. I am really good with a scalpel and think I can make it look perfect.

Yeller would stand out nice, with grey as a second choice!

Thanks Dug! I am actually considering ordering the decals and shipping them from overseas, seeing as they are not available in South Africa! Looking forward to your pics!

If you get the adventure stickers you realize you aren't going to be able to wash your bike as often

I have the white reflective decals on my bike and I love them. They really show up great in the daylight and even better at night when lights hit them.
