Perhaps talk RobRacer. Do your own design even.
The decals he has done for my KH 125 are 1st class and my own design.
If you want Tanya I can get you a copy of a graphics program that you can design and scale your own graphics ready for printing. Got love asian stopovers and expensive programs cracked for only $2.85 US a copy ;) Not that I advocate piracy as it just increases the price for us legitimate users :twisted:

supercheap didn't have any
neither did repco, autobarn did but wrong colors
went a custom place, wrong greens too (we were sent there from a spray painter)

I don't need a custom design, I just want stripes, but the right color :)

Paint is forever. Decals are easier.
I'll draw em up for you then Tanya. Rob can create them for you in the appropriate color - reckon he might know his stuff.
Are you after a GT stripe down the centre of the tank? ie: one thick one thin? Or more like curved stripes to suit the contours of the tank viewed from the side?

two, sort of down the middle, one each side of the fuel cap
Then continuing the stripes over the ductail :) I remember seeing a porsche a few years ago with similar and it looked great :)



You guys rock.. :)


I can't ride the bloody thing for a while, might take me that long to get the belly pan off that that bloody bike shop overtightened the bolts on when fitting and now they won't undo :roll:

Jeff has been wanting do something similair, but with green decals following the lines of the tank and ducktail. We tried to contact Cutgrafix several times with no return calls at the start of the year. We tried again recently and managed to get an initial callback, gave him the job details, and then didn;t get a return call for pricing. :roll:
Cheers,
Anne

I don't want to do anymore, it's enough. I just have to fix up a bit on the front of the seat cowl and he's all done..

It's not as good as the sign guy would have done but I'm happy with it :)
