Anyone here know where on the XBR's the shift pattern decal is placed on the Japan bound XB's?

The deal is silver w/black lettering

1-N-2-3-4-5

Thanks for any help

yeh i got that goofy useless sticker. It goes on above the left heal guard. It lines up between the 2 bolts. Why its there i dunno. If you dont know the gear shift pattern youd have a hard time seeing it there while riding the bike anyway. Probably put there by a lawyer.

Thanks Paul! I actually have one of these and intend to put it on as kind of a joke. It is a HD and not a Buell part number so I am assuming the Japanese require the use of the sticker. I remember all of my old Japanese bikes having the same kind of sticker or the info actually cast into the case.

Cruising along at 65 mph, it is useful to be able to look down by my left foot as I approach the hairpin turn to remind myself how to downshift.

Think there's a lawsuit in there somewhere?
