    Ill just put transfer on them. Then you can peel and stick. I will just have to send them out in an envelope instead of a box. Just peel and stick, but you are more than welcome to give one a lick first if you think it'll stick any better lol.
    You wont have any trouble, just wipe area off with a damp rag to make sure it is clean and you will be good to go.

    I got the best ATV ever made. Needs no gas, oil, or tars. Just put a cinder block on it when not in use to keep it from blowin away.

    Finally got a picture of my 2014 foreman 500.


    So far I really like it. Just did my 20 hour service after one month of ownership. Front axle locker came in hand today on the lake. I am running two link v bar chains on the front and diamond stud chains on the back.

    Couple of bites but didn't get a hook into any thing. This lake is suppose to have lots of walleye but does not have much well defined structure. I had not fished it ever before. It is very clear. I intend to go back a couple times this summer with snorkeling gear to figure things out.

    As a side note, the locker equipped Honda A TV are governed to 20mph when the locker is engaged. Got out onto the semi
    packed forest road and when I wound her up in 3rd gear the engine started blubbering like it was fuel starved. Not a good feeling when you are 15 miles from the car. Limped it back thinking I had a problem then learned about the Rev limiter when I read the manual.

    20 hours in a month!!!o_O Wow dont think I have rode mine 20 hours in 3 years.

    I clearly dont ride much and live on a small lot. And dont really ride it when I take it to the farm. We ride around the fields a bit and thats it. Dont ride it unless I kill a deer and havent dont that in years.

    Lots of fire wood skidding last month. I also had 8 days off and fished at least every evening if not the day too. Couple nights I decided to go for a ride down the pipe line easement and ended up poking around for a couple hours. It all adds up quick.

    I changed from the factory fill Honda conventional to mobil 1 0w40. Cold starting is much improved.

    Thanks WW
    It was custom built by a friend. Was heavier than anything we found locally. 3" channel for tongue.1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/4 angle.
    I've since rewired and put all recessed LED lights in 3x4 box tubing

    I run Rotella T6 5w40 in mine. Make sure the Mobil 1 is JASO wet clutch approved.

    The 0w40 is not strictly speaking JASO approved. Through work I have several contacts at various lubricant companies.

    I spoke with my Exxon rep who gave the 4T party line, then dug a little deeper when I said I need a winter use oil.

    She looked at the additives package and determined that there were no additives that bumped it from JASO - MA and the moly content is in range with the honda hp4 oil. Her thoughts were any slight clutch damage would be more than offset by better start up protection at cold start up. Clutches are fairly easy and in expensive to replace, a top end isnt. She recommend the 0w40 during extreme cold and switching over to the 4T in the spring. Though if I wanted to be a cheap azz the delvac 15w40 would work too...

    Got a little rowdy in the yard and got the tires off the ground.

    I was within reach of the winch on the F150 so getting unstucked was easy.
