Bonjour Philippe.

OK, the name you give sends me to ebay, where the quality of the images on that listing is pretty bad/low quality/small.

I do not know if it this company or another one I have seen, but the font/text style on the decals they sell is not the same as the original. You need to be careful. Ask them for clearer images.

Take a look at this link, go down a few comments (about half way down the page).

If anyone is interested, I can look at getting some sets made again. Do a search through my posts, there is a picture somewhere. I do not have the big red decal. Most of the time, that is painted on when doing a refurbishment.

Thanks Jez
Indeed the photo on Ebay is of poor quality.
that's why I questioned the forum.
if you decide to make others, I'm interested otherwise I found this seller on Ebay Germany.

a priori it seems compliant.
Can you know this seller?

I do not know the seller.

If the set includes the red panels, that is more than what I used to get made. I used red paint for the panels.

One thing to always check and that is the position & angle of the decals, especially the tank and side covers.

Look at the stock image and then the photo of the bike (presumably his own) he has a photo of. The angles are different.

[philippe]

indeed the angle is not good!
I asked if the set includes the red panels.
but i don't understand the answer!
certainly a translation problem.....

for information another supplier
£60 for the complete kit

I have been doing a bit of decal comparing and if anyone is looking at buying a set of decals from anyone, my suggestion is to ask the seller the following.

Can they send you a .PDF document of the decals they actually make and sell. NOT images of a bike in their advert, showing the bike in the 40 year old brochure.

What specification vinyl is used.

Dimensions of each individual decal. For all intents and purposes, print out a PDF at 1:1 and the size you get will probably be the size of the decal.

What font/type face is used on the tank decal.

One set I have seen appears to be red individual letters with an application tape applied. All the same apart from the black/gold Kawasaki decal. On one of the tank Kawasaki decal I have seen the triangle between the k & i is BLACK, the triangle has not been cut out to show the red underneath. This can be resolved with a scalpel and careful cutting.

I guess it all depends on what accuracy you are happy with

Unfortunately, my old supplier is no longer in business. I have been in contact with the decal company who has all the old artwork & equipment and they have said they will look for the files and should be able to help. Trouble is they are messing me about and I am at a stage where I am not going to bother contacting them again. This has been going on for a few weeks now. The next thing small local businesses moan they are having to close down.
