    With the proliferation of the "Made In Detroit" stickers around here, that would probably get me shot. Maybe a "Hecho In Mexico" sticker? I like the rising sun though- very subtle.

    :rofl: I grew in SE Michigan so I know where your coming from. I had a buddy and his dad had a Honda street bike, he would make sure not to park it near any Harleys. He worked at the Ford plant in Woodhaven.

    Easy tiger! That IS a rising sun, also known as Hitachi in Japanese. So you aren't wrong, neither is he.


    Anyway, I think it looks good hawaiian! I've got the islands on mine :D


    EDIT: I just noticed, you might want to go much darker with the tint spray. Black it out until light can't pass through at all or else it won't stand out as much when the brakes are applied at night.

    LOL. Maybe I've been watching too many WWII TV shows, but isn't this as bad as, say, a swastika on a VW?

    I would not put that on my truck. To me it's a political statement and reminds me of the flag of the imperial Japanese military. :crapstorm:
    You can relax, there is no need to argue with my opinion, just sharing my point of view. :D

    Anyone who posts on a public forum is subject to criticism for their opinion, its just a given. Personally, I like what you did with the brake light, Nice Job !!

    Exactly. It isn't anything serious back home. They sell clothes that have designs resembling the rising sun :D
