Yes please - that would be great - when I took these apart I didn't have my smart phone so used an old Doro phone - the picture quality (no detail) would be better if I drew it and coloured it in myself :) so only took pics of one side and thats the right hand cluster which I've already assembled without needing reference - many thanks - Kev  ps how is Christian now ??

Just have to remember how the guts go back in each half LOL (I stripped them WITHOUT taking pictures of the inside DOH!) - regards Kev

I got 4 complete sets made by a local sign mob here in Bundy years ago, $120 I think it was, perfect, looked great, but the dickheads couldn’t apply them right, stuffed the whole job and wrecked my new paint job. A few months later and letters from a solicitor and consumers affairs I got $480 out of them, didn’t cover the repaint or the hassle but the stickers are good!

I got similar on a black background from above. Out of the UK but quick delivery and quality is good.
Ridin' the dream!

Rather pleased with how this cover came out as it was a bit corroded - regards Kevin

There’s a mob known as “motographix” in Lidcombe 22 Adderley St E Lidcombe NSW 2141 that will reproduce these for you.
I have dealt with them twice and on both occasions they have been very helpful, and their prices are good as well. I think I paid around the $100 mark for all 5 decals (2 x tank, 2 x side covers and 1 x tailpiece) but it was a long time ago.

Cheers: Phil
