Friday Afternoon ? :LolLolLolLol:

I would mount them so the base or bottom of the letters of the word is facing to the rear of the bike . What Bren says I reckon :daumenhoch:

HeHe, although you can't see which way the decal is on my old bird, I can remember they were both on with the base/bottom to the rear of the bike like matt sez.

strange how yours is that way??

Just to prove my point here is a picture of Glyn Lewis in 1983 with his decals the same way as I have them ;)
