Where did you get those KX500 replica decals from? Are you happy with the quality?

asteroid500:
The UK, the people are great to deal with, there product is the same as any modern decal (USA) / sticker (Australia) / graphics (UK), being made.
there not the super thick ones, there crap any way they always lift ( thick ones ), there just right & the 85 Dave Thorpe tank stickers are perforated to held stop lifting, i always drain my tanks when ive finished a ride & wash.

There in the link below ..... the only problem is now there's going to be more period correct Kirt Nichole replicas, were when i commissioned these kits they never existed.

Any one got an 87 KX250/500 standard gas tank they want to sell or pass on to a fellow restorer.
