Katana750 decals - wrong now right
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2015 1:54 pm
Nothing in life is ever simple...
The latest example is part of my still unfinished winter tidy-up. I decided to repaint the panels because the previous owner had sprayed them plain white and the decals were the wrong size and there were a few cracks and so on.
I won't describe here the horrors of spraying white basecoat + pearl white + 2K lacquer in the garden shed.
The seat base has the 'Katana750' decals at the rear.
The OE 'emblems' are still available from Suzuki but have a pearl white background which may or may not match the new paint (and are about £15 each).
I ordered a pair from The Image Works (which look identical to the ones always on ebay) and £10 later they turned up.
The design was wrong, see the picture.
Maybe I'm the first one to have ever bought these in the last thirty years?
After a bit of discussion they have now updated their design and sent new ones which look ok.
They can also supply the '750Katana' version if you want to have a more symmetrical looking rear.
I've also ordered a set from BDesigns and I'll compare them when they arrive.
Here's a game of spot the difference -
