FTR, I can tell you from first hand experience that not all tanks actually get the clear coat.

Darks don't

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Interesting... either way I doubt I'll reapply the stripe. Doing a quick search, it looks like an all weekend project including prep time. It's not noticeable since I popped the bubble but only bothers me slightly b/c I'm OCD when it comes to my bike... oh wells.

Same thing happened to the tail section of my bike.  I removed a sticker and within a couple of days a bubble appeared.  Like you I popped it and it went back to normal.  I then put a new sticker over it and have had no issues.

You'll get over it.

If it isn't a dark...

how do they get it glossy with no clear?

Hmmm... that is a very good question.

Maybe somebody with a little painting experience will chime in...  Grin

I have no idea, I just know there was no clear coat on my S4RS's original tank when my fingernail tore up the racing stripe decal.
