Hi
I am nearing completion of my 1983 31k Resto and need to find exact placements for all the original little decals , for chain guard, battery decal, horns etc... There seems to be some differences on bikes I've seen, so hope someone can help and advise me before I stick them on and get caught by the RD decal police....if anyone has any pics that would be really helpful.... Over to you guys...

remember back in the day some little jap bloke just placed them on in roughly the place but they were not all in the same place doferent blokes and diferent days on diferent shits put them on in a diferent place so they may be in the area but I wouldn't get to worred about them being %100 the same as something you have seen and some once will all so have a gen yam itom and they will be in a slighley diferent place .

Pretty certain the 1983 UK spec LC2 didn't have any decals on the chainguard and the battery decal was fitted to the inside of the RH side panel. If you PM me your email address I'm certain I've got a photo of the RH side panel with the battery decal fitted.

I hope you wear a dark visor on your helmet whilst out...,,  ... There certainly seems to be a few purists that seem to take life all to seriously... Don't get me wrong, I like things right.. But really do take Norbo's point quite rightly, I realise that there will be slightly different fitments on the decals as different people fitted them... I am really just looking to get them in the right area...

Thanks Norbo I know what you mean, so many different people will have fitted them, I guess accuracy will be varied, however just really just trying to get an idea of the basic area, so didn't get too many snide comments...if I get it wrong...

Just Google image brochures, they will obviously be bikes from the factory. If you look at 125/250/350LCs, you will even see the differences in tank decal positions from one bike to another across the brochures. Some are higher at the rear, some higher at the front and some pretty much level. I had my 125LC painted a couple of years ago and the first member of the "decal police" that saw the bike said "your left tank decal isn't straight", so I showed them a picture of my brand new never ridden RD125LC taken back in 1984 and the tank decal was in the absolutely identical place  So like Norbo says, they were hand fitted and did vary somewhat from bike to bike but also like Headcase (sorry Headcoats.....  ) says, some are so far out on re-painted/rebuilt bikes it can spoil it  |
