Centre dash light panel

[Garym]

Check this.. Found it with the help of FJ111200 of the UK forum....   

Andynl .. He has loads of bits.....  It was a while back ( maybe two months )  so you may need to mail him thru the UK site... Anyway scroll down for the panel....

Let me know Ken if you can get the idiot light decals made, (and others) for the 78 as I would be very interested myself for mine.
Ive been thinking and looking at them a lot myself wondering how i could get them effective to see again

I'll take the bike down to a signwriters here when it's all back together.

The chromework was supposed to done for when I got back, bummer.
Went to a FJR get together in Mudgee over the weekend.

I'll see if they can do something, print something up and costings.
May make up a few decals.

It was quite some time ago i used the letraset but from memory there was a huge range of sizes and fonts and i would of thought the font or colour on the warning light console of our xs1100 s was  fairly standard .A guess at how these were first done in the day may have been to screen print them  . A job that would have beeen a lot easier in the first assembly process .But none the less still maybe an option .I like your option too , maybe something a few more on here would be interested in .

You could perhaps print it on acetate.. Don't think the UV properties would be very good though......

Hi Fred,
Tar for that, no idiot light decals as you said.
It's a handy link / site though.

Those LETRASET decals might be ok, doesn't look like they have the same font.

I may head off to a signwriter, had a brainwave. They have those computer programs that do such a thing.

Cheers
Ken

Ken,

found it. I don't know how to set up a CLICK here link but if you go to "Ebay Worlwide"and type in:

SWITCH DECALS LENKER SCHALTER XS 750 1100 XS750 XS1100

you'll find a complete set for left and right switch blocks and ignition $22.84 + $4.02 P&H. No idiot light decals though. I'd PM him and ask about them. I found him very helpfull.

Let us know how you get on mate.

Ebay had a bloke selling a complete set of labels minus the "PASS" for the left bar block.
He said that he was in the process of putting an Australian set toghether.

I'll have a look around and try to relocate him.

Ken,

There was someone on the UK forum selling those new.. I'll see if I can find the thread for you an post it up.....

Ken i have done a little homework and here is a link to LETRASET .http://www.letraset.com/craft/shopdisplaycategories.asp?id=57&cat=Letraset+Transfers
Another thought would be to use a label printer with white on clear laminated tape.

Hi Ken,depending on how steady your hand is you can use a paint pen , available at most newsagents or if you want a printed style......there used to be a product around called LETRASET which is a transparent sheet with various sized letters on the back side of it which you rub the front of the film to leave the chosen letter on a surface.After applying you may have to use an artists clear spray to provide a more stable finish . All these products i have purchased from a newsagent.

haven't come across that one sorry

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody has renewed the white writing on the centre panel
Some of it is worn away to be expected.

Cheers
