Over the years, I have accumulated loads of stickers from countries I have been through/visited on the Ard Case panniers of the old 1100 Panzer. (thumbs)
My new 'Night Fighter' Panzer has black panniers with no stickers.
So my dilemma is this
1. Should the stickers show where the bike has been
or
2. Should the stickers show where the rider has been
Whats your thoughts :S

Re: Sticker Dilemma
Tricky.
I have loads of those stickers too but I've not committed to sticking them to anything yet...

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Re: Sticker Dilemma
Just buy some new ones off Ebay
We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

Re: Sticker Dilemma
Harley riders don't have that problem, they just sew them on their waistcoats. I've sold my Harley, but still have the waistcoat. Unfortunately, doesn't really go with the Explorer, clean shaved short haired look though.
Re: Sticker Dilemma
Use the panniers as storage in the garage and keep the memories that way.
I never thought about adding stickers and then it was too late and not bothered enough to go chasing down places I've been; not that it's a lot anyway....
New bike, new collection, would be my thoughts.

Re: Sticker Dilemma
I would take the stickers off(hair drier helps),they will mean nothing to the new owner anyway!
Then stick them up in your garage/shed then they'll keep jogging those memories.
Start the new panzer "fresh".

Re: Sticker Dilemma
Rider.
That's the shame about panniers and manufacturers. They update the frames so you need to change the boxes. Dirty trick and an easy way to screw you out of another £1000.
So I say the stickers are for the rider.

Re: Sticker Dilemma
That's why I like my Krausers, €60 for a fitting kit if I change the bike.
I collect stickers but don't stick them anywhere............
