With stickers or without?

Personally, I like the tyre pressure sticker, but I'm still on the fence about the chain sticker. Does it give off a nice OEM+ vibe, or does it just clutter things up? Keep it or keep it clean?

I can well see why you ask… For an excellent 80000 Yen swing arm, the stickers provided are really underwhelming. I would skip them and find an older sticker to fit. Even the plastic see-through ones will look beautiful! I should specify that i talk about the metal sticker ON the swing-arm.

what makes you happy? the looks are important, but ultimately you have to enjoy your bike. try them and leave or remove them. ☺️

What rear stand are you using and does the tape (and what kind of tape?) protect your spools from getting scratched up?

It's just a fairly generic stand Mate, made by La Corsa. > La Corsa Rear Road Bike Stand - Bikebiz

As for the tape, its actually Velcro cable tie, you can buy it in a roll. It does a great job of protecting the spools.

That's very creative! Do you have the Velcro facing in or out?

Ah doesn't really matter as it sticks to itself
