    Funny that you should ask. My 750 has that sticker under the seat on the crossmember over the fender.

    Got some high build sprayed on Jane’s body panels today.

    found a sticker, but it’s the wrong size, so the search continues

    I think the US RJ rear YAMAHA emblem might be more rare than the State Farm sticker

    When you do, let me know how it turns out, I've got a project 900 with a frame crack by the kickstand. Maybe that's why it had that sticker on the back.... 20210530_212110.jpg

    My frame has been welded in that area. Have not seen one needing a repair on clutch side of the frame yet.

    Do you like Caswell better than POR 15?

    Soak the inside of the tank with vinegar for a week, shaking occasionally, then dump it out and rinse. Dry it with a shop vac for 30 minutes and then dump in the POR 15 and manipulate the tank for about 10 minutes to make sure you coat everything. I've done 2 this way and I've been satisfied with the results.

    I assume you did not use the POR15 tank clean prep. I have seen a few people doing that but I don't know if the sealer failed or not? How long ago did you do your tanks?
