Trimming OEM/Factory decal

I'm planning to remove the factory red striping decals on the side fairings. On the K9 750's (not sure about other model years), I really like to save/keep the Silver R on the bike as it's raised lettering.

I've read on a few threads that it's possible to use an exacto knife or razor with a ruler to trace/trim around the GSX-R logo, then peel off the rest (thus leaving only the R logo on the plastic).

I'm afraid of pressing too hard and cutting into the paint/plastic with the exacto blade/razor.

Has anyone else tried to do this? What was the best way to get the cleanest/precise result that you wanted?

Yeah, it is a great price so I figured I couldn't go wrong. The quality is very good and the carbon weave pattern/shade looks great. I also found the fitment is excellent! I would highly recommend it.

K8 and K9 (and K10) are pretty much the same. Try this link;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzu...mQQhashZitem4153927229QQitemZ280574980649QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

and saw a listing for the front wheel fender here ($128.00):

I haven't tried and don't know anyone that has bought the fender but if it's anything like their hugger, it should work well. Maybe you can give us some feedback.

That was the last time I rode it, November 29th 2010. It was 55° that day. That pic was @ Bronner's in Frankenmuth. They actually have those lights up all year. Just wanted a few pics with the X-Mas lights. Got a few more. It was a nice ride. Bit cold on the way home.
