hey all i know there are a few threads about yamaha decals but i couldnt seem to find the info i was after... did anyone end up getting some stickers made in sydney? i do have the link to the decal sheet from the fzrarchives... i just need to find a place in sydney that can make them for me.... any ideas? all i really want is a yamaha decal for the tank so people dont think im riding a honda.... i couldnt live if they thought i was on a cbr <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> jk heheh im in the process of giving the bike a facelift... well im assuming its gonna look better <!-- s:???: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":???:" title="Confused" /><!-- s:???: --> .... i might have some pics in the next couple of weeks cheers simon
wat yamaha decal r u after? the tuning forks, or just yamaha. i got some hi-res pics of these if u need them? i got mine done at a signwriter for 10 bucks each. dave
im really just after the YAMAHA decal to put on each side of the tank... i prefer the sticker-less look i think.... i'd really appreciate if you could email a hi-res pic of the word to chiangstar @ yahoo.com where abouts is signwriter? thanks a million dave simon
well..im in melb tho. i guess any signwriter could do it for around that price if u want the normal decal in plain colour. as for making the decal "stickerless" - do u mean smooth to touch, so no bumps wen u run ur fingers over the decal? if so then ull need to clear coat it a few times n lotsa sanding to get it smooth. not really worth it tho for the time spent unless its a show bike. lol anyway, emial sent. get them to convert to vector format n ur done. dave
thanks dave actually by "sticker-less" i meant no decals on the bike.... just the word YAMAHA so there's no ambiguity about what the bikes brand is <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s --> ive read that a clear coat is recommended on the tank to stop petrol overflow stuffing up your paint job.... but there are arguments for and against it.... so i was just gonna be safe and do the clear coat... i figured that ive put so much work into sanding the fairings under the paint, i little bit more sanding after painting isnt gonna do me too much harm... simon
The stock decals on the tank are factory clearcoated. The only reason that I can think of, is to protect the decal from petrol as the clearcoat does a good job of protecting the paint already.
hmmmm ok.... so should i put the decals on the paint and the clearcoat the lot? or should i clearcoat the tank first and then put the stickers on and then clear coat again? me=confused <!-- s:???: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":???:" title="Confused" /><!-- s:???: --> simon
thanks fzrdude.... im just finishing up with plastic moulding, and sanding... and ill be onto the primer soon.... its not a short process.... <!-- s:???: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":???:" title="Confused" /><!-- s:???: --> cheers simon
