Replacement decals

Post by superoctopod »

Hi,

First post!!

I have a black & grey RRK NC23 with a mismatched panel. My right side inspection panel is plain black, and doesn't match my bike. My original was destroyed months ago, and this was the closest I could find for a replacement. I've hunted high and low for a replacement decal to make the replacement panel fit the bike. Unfortnately no decal companies seem to be able to help, even after I offered to send them the wreckage of the original as a reference for measurements/colour matching.
Is there anywhere/or anyone that might be able to help me get hold of a decal to sort out my panel??

If anyone can help me with this I'd be very grateful, as I'm having no luck whatsoever.

iv never had any probs with getting even the rarest graphic made up by a place called "the image works"
try there. they do mainly crash repair jobs/matching so shouldnt shy away from your problem.

Really?? They were one of the first ones I tried, and said they couldn't help.

I took a photo in to my local sign writer of the graphics i need for my nsr and they made them up no problem.
Any firm that uses vinyl for shop fronts or vehicles should be able to sort it for you. 8-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to swing by one tomorrow, as I finish early on a Friday. Hope they can help, as I've been stuck with this mismatched panel for months now.

This is how it looks, right now.

Has a couple of stickers to try and divert the eye a little.
