Stickers / Decals

[cshan99]

Anyone know where i'd get a set of original stickers / decals for my bike? ('90 GSXR 400) Am thinking of re-spraying it over the christmas and want to put the same stickers back on as the originals. 8)

[wowzer]

maybe on ebay.co.uk

[cshan99]

check it every day!!

was taking to owner of local bike shop and he said they're impossible to get. Where do lads who put custom paint jobs on bikes get there stickers?? 8)

[Spider]

look at ebay find anyone that does decals! and most of em make them there selves! cause i have had some custom made! then all you do is mesure up ur current decals and send the measurements! and hey presto!

[Biker Dude]

Yeah, thats what i did on my Rs50. Had to get the BIG RED aprilia sticker re-done. £25 not too bad!

[Simon]

you could try taking it to a professional spray shop and ask if they can get em in but i rekon that would cost u

[Spider]

nah dont want to do that just measure up the current stickers then send the measurements to a sticker maker and get it all made alot cheaper!

[Simon]

or you could just spary it on insted of using stickers

just a little bit harder tho......

[cshan99]

have e-mailed a few guys on E-Bay.

Me thinks I'll be leaving my bike alone - its clean enough!! 8)

[wowzer]

dont go back to the original theing that every one else has got!
Be a little bit more open minded and think of a pattern or just go to a garage that u no is good and tell them the colours u want (or look through their colour scheme and pick 2 or more) n just talk through a couple of patterns u thought of or ask them to suggest some!

I worked in a workshop n between me and my boss we sorted out a design that made me happy shore they can do the same!

Go on dont be scaired,it will make ya bike a one off and worth more!!!! :D

ALL BLACK WITH NO DECALS!!!! :twisted:

[cshan99]

can't go black, one of my brother's bikes is a black GSXR 750 (1988) with silver stickers. Exact same bike as mine (only for extra cc's and oh yeah, a tiny bit bigger and faster........!!! :P )

[wowzer]

My TZR is a metalic Lexus blue with a few metalic Lexus silver bits on it and its got a net sort of pattern all over the tank in silver,up the nosecone/top fairing and lower fairing. looks good to me and every one who has seen it.
when all me mates see it they loved it and a couple asked to buy it there n then. Had to say no as i wanted people to recognise it as my bike as i had put all the time n effort in to make it look the way it does! (not forgetting my boss there though he painted it!!!)
also get nuff comments up the pub,concidering its parked next to one of my mates streetfighterd gixer 750,his bro's gixer750,me other mates fzr,cb750 n who ever else is there.

NO IM NOT BIGGIN UP MYSELF,JUST MY BIKE!!!! :lol:
it mine n im PROUD!

[cshan99]

8) have ya any pics?

[wowzer]

not at the mo as i still gotta do it the old way,develop a film,scan it then put it on. will try as soon as pos. maybe before the wk end. or sunday!!!

[Spider]

would like to see poics of that sounds mint!"

[GREENIE]

have ya tried mandp.co.uk? thats where i get all my bits and pieces from
and they do decals cant garantee theyve got the right 1s but its worth a look

[cshan99]

yupp, tried them - no joy.

found a crowd on e-bay that are gonna do me a set, all i have to do is take pics of mine and send them on.

Not sure of price yet though 8)

[GREENIE]

ok buddy it was worth a shot best of luck tho

[wowzer]

sorry dude still aint got them pics yet!

Cshan have u or do u no anyone with a gixer400 (GK73A) engine that they wanna sell? ifso how much?

im getting a rolling chassis of my mate same shape as yours, painted that at me old work aswell! conrod went through block at 120MPH on motorway due to stage3 n dyno's not set up prop.(DOH!)

[Spider]

ouch! thnk thats all i can say on that

[cshan99]

sorry wowzer, don't even know anyone close to me who even has a GSXR 400 never mind one for breaking. Will check around and see. Would be expensive to ship from this side of the pond though.

They are a fantastic bike, and even though mine is nearly 14 years old I'll never sell it. Gonna buy an R6 after christmas but am still gonna keep the 400

Hello there I can reccomend a company- MRS in Ilkeston (derbyshire) They helped me out a great deal . My missus has a GK76 and when we got it off ebay it was a bit of a dog . Still not bad for £1000 , but not something I would like to be seen on . I have stipped it cleaned it got bits from D&k , off of ebay and from two import specialists I have found , Riders of Yeovil , and BAT m/cs in kent .
The paint I have had done in Leicester and the screen from skidmarx .
These bikes are a labour of love , but when it is done she will have to fight me for a ride!! ,and I ride an R1 .
Wring its neck in every gear and (if its unrestricted) 130 will come up !!!
But the best thing is the handling WOW corner speed is mad I can get my knee down , on the R1 I have to be doing stupid speeds to even feel half as invloved .
So to finish some useful numbers:-
skidmarx-01305780808-Pattern screens and bodywork -cheap but slow .
mrs-01159447666-www.mrsdirect.co.uk top people talk to pete or mail them some pics v high quality stuff at reasonable £££
riders 01935421681 -Talk to tony he knows his stuff about imports-highly reccomended .
Hope this is of some help , I am hoping to find another gk76 or a fzr400rr this year , in a bid to keep my licence -9 points and an R1 do not go together :P
