Magneto cover

[bakirkwold]

My emblem looks pretty bad. I thought about taking it off and since the entire cover on that is getting the "Shine" treatment. I should paint the suzuki "S" on the cover. Any thoughts?

Could do, won't do any harm, it's your bike, will it suit the style and look you going for?
personaly I like the look of the decal, but that is just me.
Painted Suzuki S would be ok, not sure how hard wearing it would be, and the decals are still available all over for 20 something bucks.

You can still buy an emblem from Suzuki. The latest parts look different from the original, but still look good. Cost is something like $12.

If it's just the paint on the emblem that looks bad you can repaint. Heat up the emblem with a heat gun or hair drier and carefully lift the emblem off the cover. Scuff the emblem with a scotchbrite and hit it with a few layers of semi-gloss black spray paint. After the paint drys take sandpaper with backer board and carefully remove the paint from the raised areas of the emblem. A couple coats of clear to seal everything down and call it done.
