Cb550 gas tank decal
« on: July 30, 2014, 09:41:04 AM »
Hi I'm looking for some gas tank decals for my CB550, can someone point me in the right direction to where I could find some? I've found these ones but I am confused as as to why they don't meet at both ends? Any advice would be great.

I got some at Z1 - you have to carefully cut those with an Exacto-knife or similar.

Very tedious (at least it was for me). I was fortunate to have the old tank in good enough condition to replicate the cuts. My non-geometry mind took a lot of thinking to get it to match - very difficult to get both sides perfect, but with persistence it can be done.
