Royal Enfield Classic 350 And Why You Shouldn't Remove The Side Sticker. Part 1 

That sounds a great option, I am looking into that, hopefully I will have an update very soon. Just wish I had left well alone. Thanks for watching 👍

No problem at all, good to share silly experiences in the hope it might help someone. Must admit the Royal Enfield community is amazing, so good to share. Thanks for watching 👍

I would try T Cutting it but where the logo has been it is gloss, hard to pick up on camera, but thank you for the suggestion. I hope to come up with a solution soon. Thanks for watching 👍

Don't use T Cut or polish on a matt finish surface, it will put a gloss shine on it and will ruin it!

@@jonathandeeley6276 Thanks for that, I won't, T cut is a very harsh abrasive, be a lot easier to find a replacement sticker 👍Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the reply, to get another panel was my first route, but don't get me started on Royal Enfield parts, 15 week wait and thats if its on the container from India. Some dealers even said they wouldn't take my order as they dont think they can get one. When I make part 2 hopefully I will have good news....noticed I said hopefully 😂 Nothing in the RE world happens quick, the biggest let down for these awesome bikes. 👍

@@Butlers_Bike_life Yes I quite agree! Great bikes, I love my 350 Classic and Meteor 350 but the biggest let down with them are the UK importers. They haven't a clue about customer service, they are just amateurs playing at it, I've had plenty of problems and experience either them over essential parts they can't supply. Did you know that they can't even supply oil filters to their dealers and dealers are having to bulk buy direct from India even though RE UK have told them not too?! They really are a bunch of idiots that unless they get their act together sooner rather than later customers will take their custom elsewhere.☹️👍

@@jonathandeeley6276 I know a dealer who can't even get bikes and has customers that want to buy them ! Its crazy about the oil filter situation, I have been looking on ebay for parts and everything is in India, only ordered once form India and I had a fantastic service. I enquired about pannier bags on FB and the next thing I had a phone call from India, they are really switched on out there. All RE have got to do is get the blinking parts shipped over but that seems an impossible task for them. To be honest with you my Classic 350 was one of MOTGB bikes and I had it for a steal, probably the cheapest in the UK. But fully agree RE have got to get their act together as they need to be support these fantastic bikes. 👍

I’m betting the panels come pre-painted with decals applied already.

@@critterIMHO Yes they do but try and get hold of one. Been told there is a 15 week wait for parts and thats if they arrive in the container from India. RE need to get their act together. Thanks for watching 👍

I have tried getting someone to make a copy but failed but have designed replacement stickers so might get my own design made......watch this space. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for the suggestion, I have never heard of this method but worth thinking about. Thank you 👍

Thanks for the feedback, the paint work where the sticker was is shiny, so a paint over would need to be done....hopefully I will have a solution soon....Thanks for watching 👍

I am working on a solution but its funny Ive showed a few people the bike and no one has noticed my error. But I am working on a solution 👍Thanks for watching

I have been looking at second hand panels and thought about buying a complete set and painting green and converting to an army bike. Be easier doing that than buying a replacement panel !!! Thanks for watching 👍

I will look into it thank you, would ideally replace the panel but I am finding it a mission to get one....Thanks for watching 👍

That might be the option, I will see. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching, there are a few options for me to do, I am quite tempted to wait and get two second hand panels and paint them black. Getting a replacement panel in colour is becoming hard work. I will be sure to post Part 2 when I have come up with a solution. 👍

I wish I had read the same forums as you 😂 I had someone on facebook who had the same gun metal grey bike say its ok to peel them off. Thats why I made the video to help any one else thinking of removing them. I have searched high and low for replacement stickers the same size, I might be getting some where. Will certainly make a Part 2 with a resolution to my silly error....Not sure who came up with the blue....black would be better.....Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I will get it sorted soon, I should have left well alone 😂👍

Cheers for the reply, I have looked for a graphic but cant find anything I like....Thanks for watching

I have a local body shop but they have told me they run the risk of disturbing the paint that the logo was stuck on as its very thinly painted. Thanks for watching 👍

A friend of mine suggested the same and sent me a photo shop photo of the bike with black side panels and it looked ok. Would probably be the best instant fix and something I'm considering. Thanks for the suggestion and watching 👍

@@Butlers_Bike_life maybe just stretch a black plastic bag over it and tape it in place to see if you like the look before actually painting it. It obviously won't look very nice but it might help you decide if you might like it or not. I hadn't come across your channel before so I've just subscribed, I'm interested to see where you go with this as those stickers really did look a bit out of place.

@@Walt_G What a great suggestion, I am quite tempted to buy a complete set of panels and paint them green and convert to an army bike. Would be easier than getting hold of a replacement panel. Thanks for subscribing....I will come up with a solution 👍

I awaiting a quote as I will have to get both sides done 👍 Thanks for watching

Thanks very much for the suggestion....sounds an easy job...much appreciated

Completely agree with you. Many Thanks for watching 👍

Many thanks, sounds an easy job..much appreciated.

Alcohol hand gel and elbow grease is ALL thats needed. I know as I did it on mine and it removed it perfectly.

@@tk421trading6 The alcohol won't remove the lacquer, would need rubbing down,. Was yours the same colour bike Gun Metal Grey ?

Thanks for watching 👍

I can't find a sprayer to take on the job as the original paint is so thin on the panel they are worried it can be easily rubbed through....hopefully i have a solution very soon 👍

That’s not good thin paint I hope you can get sorted thank you 👍🏍️

@@SOLOMOTOUK Will keep you posted 👍

I'm looking...cheers 👍

I will have to give it a google, never heard of it. But thanks 👍

@Butlers_Bike_life Goo Gone is what I meant to say, but my phone thought otherwise with auto correct.

@@EastboundDwn 🤣 Many thanks will take a look Thanks 👍

Thanks for the suggestion & watching 👍

It's an outline of Lacquer, so where the sticker was , it is not lacquered so it would be two different colours, hard to pick up on camera.The lacquer sticker line would be needed to be rubbed down. Many thanks

Thanks for watching 👍

Like I said I was told they were not and have now found out depending on what colour depends if they are lacquered. I keep asking myself the same question Why ? So I thought share and care 😀👍 Cheers for watching
