You've done a very good job
I was the opposite when applying decals I prefered marking with masking tape and dry approach. I some how made a mess when I used the water approach

cheers dude - glad you pointed it out. I appreciate it - I would have done the same :)
i had to do the wet method - I am so clumsy - would have screwed me up putting them on dry

decals on.
Putting these on was fun - cut the landing gear decal in half, and putting little cuts between letters helped putting them on over curve of forks.
Slow and sure was the key here to putting them on.
Thanks to Del - for decals - they are sweet.

Don't want to be a party pooper but I thought the fork decals have the text/word facing the rider.
In other words the other way around
I could be wrong as it would make it a hatric this week of screw ups
So wait to see what others say

Decals on the drive side of the forks are correct. On the non drive side they should read from the bottom of the fork upwards. :daumenhoch:

I have got new tyres - since this was just taken.
This is my daily ride now. Ive got two local skateparks, and the woods behind me - a big bag of fun awaits.
I rode the bike in the sun in the woods on thursday - it was blisteringingly hot, and done a few jumps - I was ten again :D
I felt amazing and endeavour to push myself on it.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience getting it road worthy.
BMXing to me, is a feeling - simply BMXing.
Many thanks to everyone here on Rad. Overwhelmed by peoples help and friendliness - you are all legends - reminds me of the VW scene I was in in the 90's - hope I can pass on new found knowledge to other newbies.
Bon weekend all. :)
