Guru’s ?
Has any one had any success having a “super Valk” chrome text made up for the saddle bag in place of the “ interstate “ text. ?

Plenty of choices for printed letters in chrome. You'd have to do the sticking and spacing. No idea about chrome (or any other) cursive writing, other than paint. I had this on my car.  |

There is a shop on Rt.44 and Int.75 in Florida it’s called The Chrome Shop. It’s basically an all out chrome shop for truckers, the have a C&C department in the back that will make up name tags in chrome plastic. You could find a similar shop in your area or hit these people up. They do mail orders too. I had Steel Cowboy done up, it lasted 5 years before I accidentally broke it off my trunk.

This is relevant to my interests for a reason other than motorcycles. Occasionally I'll modify radio equipment and want to re-badge it to reflect the "upgrades". A 3D plastic model placard which is gold-plated is spec'd for a future project. Hmmm... |

Definitely, less is more in this case. Just Supervalk...or SuperValk, is my opinion.
Do you have the bag rails? If so, would have to fit with those as well.

I have the Interstate bag rails and bag script, and the rails fit over OK, but interfere with keeping the script clean. If you have the rails, I might move the lettering a little to a better position.  |

Why not use grease and wax remover/cleaner, use to clean surfaces before painting. Slower maybe but safer.

So, The caramel wheel worked obscenely well !! warning keep it moving, I put a couple of small burn fogs on the paint now hidden under the new decals, installed are the following: front fender, " Flat 6 Custom" Side cover , "1520CC" tank "euro style badge F6C" Panniers " SuperValk" Over all i am happy with it, The text was supplied with a drop i template so even I could not screw it up ! see images below, yes it needs a wash, but its summer and for riding !   |

Now you will need one of those soft nylon detail brushes to get the wax out of and between the letters.  |

I spent ages and ages finding text that i was happy with the image below has the PPS i sent to them to work from if you look you will see the font and size and stuff i used retrospectively i would have made the text on the front fender smaller but what is done is done  |
