I must be weird because I thought about putting the stripes on my '12 :D gold forks might throw the look off though :confused:. Front cowl feels tasteless and trying to think of a way to spice it up besides the puig windscreen I put on.

I personally am looking at some burnt orange rim tape to dress the bike up.

I like the carbon/burnt orange color combo myself.

A lot of people recommend using some heat to help loosen the adhesive. Use a hair dryer to warm then up and then use some goo gone to help remove any remaining residue.

My 13 has red and grey decals that almost feel like there is a clear coat over top of them. they are smooth to the touch and I cant feel an edge. I would assume that they are put on the same way as the other models but am not 100% sure

First, I asked my wife to borrow her hair dryer... in which she looked at me very strangely and say ooooooohhhhhh kaaay :)

Then, I just applied heat a few inches away from the stickers for 10-20 seconds and picked the edge with my fingernail. The stickers came right up with very little goop leftover.

Lastly, I put a little Goof Off on a rag, cleaned up the goop, and then neutralized it with a clean damp wash cloth. Didn't hurt the paint at all.

My '13 had stickers for sure. I'd say test the waters and pick at the tiny end of the sticker with your fingernail and see if it starts to come up. If it does, bust out the hair dryer :)

Never seen a 8 come factory with a sticker set like that in the middle of the tank or that color configuration..

kinda looks like someone had a custom color thing done rather then it being factory stickers, which by the way totally looked and felt like stickers. I could be totally wrong though.
