    I rushed home from work like an excited school boy after my honda repsol tall screen was delivered at work (cox honda great service!) and set about getting it on. Installed the screen without issue. Tricky part over with..... or so I thought. The repsol sticker or 'epso' sticker comes seperate so thought 'oh this will be a piece of piss'. Anyway.... I lined the twat up all bloody wrong and now my whole weekend is bloody ruined because of it. Arrrrrghhhhh. Please somebody help relieve the pain by confirming that I can get a replacement sticker (may need two as a precaution. Make that three actually).

    I sympathise with you mate, if you find anywhere that sell them could you let me know I could do with one as mine has a little piece missing and could do with replacing.

    Choke! 45 English pounds? And a ten week wait to further rub salt and vinegar into the wound. Going to have to knock that on the head I think.

    Great thanks. There is hope! I'll get onto cox honda tomorrow. Hopefully I can line it up ok this time. There's absolutely no room whatsoever for the slightest error. Once it's on, it's on. Try to take it off and it stretches and is frigged forever.
    Thanks dude

    Looks like we've both got to face the dreaded 'epso' re-sticker. I attempted to apply it with the screen on the bike. Just wandering if would be easier off the bike

    Good call. This time things will be different. I hope. I'm going to have to figure out a way of lining it up. A very unforgiving process.

    Gutted: I was just yanking your plank, then I got called out so didn't get to tell you the real price doh.

    For what it's worth, I paid about £17 mate, which did still sting a bit to be honest.

    You little devil you, Andy. I can live with £17. It was my own fault for being a complete penis.

    Can it be applied on water like ventureshield so there is some movement, and then let it dry to set?
