Decals

[grantwils]

Thats most of the old GPZ500S back from the bodyshop and looking brilliant. Does anyone have any reccomendations regarding aquiring decals? I've e-mailed www.the-image-works.co.uk who say they are the world leaders for everything from vintage classics to modern day race replicas. I've sent them a pic of the pre-respray GPZ so they know what I'm looking for.

If you have no luck with image works (I've heard nothing but good write ups about them) you could try rsgraphics.... www.rsgraphics.co.uk

Hi
I've recently resprayed my 2001 GPZ500S in Candy Lightning Blue (Original Colours). I am looking for the decals for the seat side panels and fairing (tank is fine and belly pan is not used).

Do you have these graphics and how much will they cost?

I have attached a photo of the pre-paintjob bike (with mismatched black fairing) for your information.

Cool, i need a telefonica decal for Adolf, presume these are the dudes then? Do i just send them a pic and dimensions or something? I'm really anal about things being spot on tho.

They seem to do all the race replica stuff and say they can get pretty much anything you need. I'll let you know how I get one with these.

Got some panels off my ole 'onda to repair (some lugs broken off and filling required) searched here and found this thread.
The decals will no doubt need replaced after the repairs and must appear original as planning on keeping the bike as a future modern classic.
Any feedback from someone with personal experience on image-works or any other good supplier would be appreciated.

As for the repairs I came across this old one.

Again any upto date feed back or recommendations would be good. I'd prefer someone local if poss.

Thanks.
