Thanks Guys my anorak is getting bigger ( Green bolts and all )the longer I go on with this bike it is going to be tricky to make my mind up.
Mellow m8 it is not yours |Honest ;D

All standard decal are made to be laquered over if you dont over time they will rub of and look crap .
If your not laquering over stuff you need to have custom laminated decals for the everything except the laquered tank and they costt double as the laminate costs as much as the vinel to use.

Thanks all, Norbo that is interesting thanks for the info I bought my decals off of a guy on E Bay I think his name was Simon from your neck of the woods? so I assume they will need to be clear coated over ?

I dont stock laminated ones as every one gets them laquered over but i do make them up if asked but they are a little more due to the cost of the laminate .

I think my anorak has also grown a hood for this rebuild! How much for the laminated decals Norbo?

Talking about anorak I ordered some washers you know the GREEN ones only problem is out of the two bags With the same parts code one was green and one was just zinc plate does this mean Mr Yamaha is stopping the green bits? I have had some electroplated but they never seem the same to me.

hi mick.believe i have seen this topic before.seems the green is changing for black on somethings and maybe even zinc
