After getting the vert back on the road last year, there are a few small things that jump out at me every time I look at it that still need to be finished or improved. One of those things is the Engine Starting Procedure label that is on the top of the drivers visor, which is right at eye level with the top down.

Ordered it last week, and it showed up today printed on the correct cloth backing, and it was slightly oversized enough that the new label covered the old one.
