When I got my quad, the PO had removed the OEM decals it had and it was just plain jane red with no graphics of any kind. So, recently I got tired of it being that way and went on Service Honda to order some graphics for it and about shat a brick when I saw how much they were asking for them. $60! And I don't know if that's for both or just one tank graphic! I went around on other sites that carried Honda OEM parts and they all are around the 50 and 60 dollar range, just seems outrageous to me that a set of stickers is worth that much. If you wanna see it for yourself go to SH and look up your model year quad and click on "MARKS" and prepare to be blown away. Does anyone know why Honda thinks these are made out of gold or what?

Finally, I looked into another outlet and went with these aftermarket graphics from motodecals that look just as good. Although I really liked the unique "Sportrax" name that the 2002 came with. Ah well, maybe when I buy new fenders in the future I will just give in and get the OEM marks but that ain't happening for awhile I don't think. It costs so much to ship the darn fenders I probably wont be investing in those soon.
