Just curious - anyone know how OEM seat logos are "installed?"  Are they some sort of hot-stamping or similar?  FWIW, I looked at several U-tube videos of seat painting/stencils and none of them looked acceptable to me...unlike Julies pics.  The ones I saw had substantial bleeding that made them OK if viewed from 20 feet away but amateurish if standing next to the bike.  I suspect that like most things, it requires some practice to get it right. The stencils, from what I understand, are one-use only, right?

Bleeding can be an issue but if the stencil is stuck down properly, they have self adhesive glue on them, and if the paint is sprayed on in many thin layers with the spray can held at the correct angle, it does prevent bleeding. Because our Honda seat covers have a textured finish, it is more difficult than on a smooth vinyl cover. Don't get anxious about it, if it really does concern you, send the seat to me and I'll do it for you.

Thanks Julie, that's a very nice offer.  I'll attempt it myself but if it does not come out well I might strip off the paint and we'll talk!  ;)

It's worth you having a go Mike, you can't do any irreparable damage if it goes wrong. If you do want me to do it, it'll only cost you the price of postage each way as my time to do it will be FOC.

Unless of course the Post Office lose it, which these days is something to consider. Finding a decent seat isn't easy.

Only ever lost one item with the Post Office out of 1000's of dispatches. Hermes have lost some items, hence why I haven't used them for 2 years.

Still a possibility though and considering how rare these parts are getting these days one that you should factor in.

Couriers tend to lose more, lighter fingered employees in my opinion.

Yes but getting hit by a Meteorite from Mars is still a possibility but it won't stop me going out 😁😁😁😁.

You can't get hit by a meteorite from Mars, meteorites are space debris and come from space itself not from a planet.

There is a lot more chance of getting hit by a meteorite from Uranus though, usually on the leg  :) :)

Point of order, meteorites do also come from Mars and other planets. When that planet gets hit it breaks bits off that can come out way. Your otherwise correct that they come from all over.

As for the other strikes.

Hope I haven't stirred an astronomical debate here.

That is true, however how would you know it was from Mars? little green man riding on it waving a Martian flag?

My point was that until the planet gets hit there is nothing coming off that planet, as soon as they enter space however they are just meteorites, irrespective of where they originate.
