I want to replace the dark blue/gold decal on the front of the nose cone.

They are not available from Honda or Sunrise graphics, but Imageworks could reproduce one.

Are they are already available from another source?

Thanks,
Dave.

right i agree we need to either get brooky or someone to make as close to original decals for the bikes. perhaps one model at a time.
they must however be faithfull to the original in every way, colour, size, detail (like the HONDA having a larger O)
So we need a set of decals for each panel of each model (within reason) perhaps even as far as pre shaped and cut out RVF decals for the lowers, to cover / replace scuffed areas or to simply make as good painted panels.
then even colour variations once the cutter is confirmed correct ?

Mark, are you interested in doing this ? and if faithful colours are an issue for you (which i doubt), then help us get them made to order from another source ?

Complete sets of all the types would be good. Put me down of a couple of type 1's and 8's

Yes, I have bought RC30 and NC30 R/W/B pattern decals, but have not used them as they are different to my originals as follows,

With wrong -:

Shape [straight not curved]
Length of wording
Character size
width of gold stripe
Colour of gold stripe
Warning labels colour and character size
The red and dark blue "HONDA" seem as close as I can see by eye.
I have bellypan "HONDAs" with the correct "O" at 5mm more height, but both O and other charactes are the wrong size.

As I have a complete set of Honda RC30 decals, I could use the bellypan Honda and gold stripes on my NC if I need them, as they are the same, but the stripe is not the same curve.

If Paul can sort out supplies, then us owners using our bikes will be able to prepare and keep them on the road, without fear of irreparable damage.

Thanks
Dave.

1x full set for a 1994 RVF400RR please! 8-)
Looks like Brooky (or someone else) is about to get very busy soon!

There's someone making sets and selling on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-RC45-RVF750 ... 3f05b5bff8
Difficult to know how accurate they are though!

Gents, bear with me and i will asist, i never started doing this to make a quick £5 and run off, i will happily work with you all to produce decals as good as possibly can, it doesnt matter how many times we have to cut them to get them right.

I think as said it would be best to do one model at a time, we can start with the standard vinyl colours and if these arent near enough we can look at getting it colour matched, i have a supplier (funnily enough) who can offer this service, obviously at a price bit i aint gonna rip anyone off, i never have (well not knowingly)

I have quite a few original style decals, some i admit are not as good as others but it we have good square on photographs i can replicate most stuff.

Right, bring on the challange!
