Black painted area dimensions on K5 tank!
« on: July 08, 2009, 04:50:00 PM »
SOHC Oracles and Gurus,

I dropped by the paint shop today to look at my tank and side covers; they did get the Planet Blue color perfect and paint job is really nice but...
They forgot to paint the black area on the tank- sigh sigh sigh - and they seem reluctant to place the decal... in brief "what I have done in a past life to ________________" <fill in the blanks>
Anyway, they are really willing to do the job right so here are my questions:

1- Does anyone has the dimension of the Black area for the tank so I can potentially make a stencil and give it to the painter???

2- Someone suggested earlier in a previous tank discussion/thread that I could have the stripes painted in place of the decal... That's seems to be a good alternate solution but would you do it?

 ???

HA! I asked this same question for my '77 750F2 a while back and my question is all alone in that thread with NO answers. Good luck.

I think I'm going to paint mine soon, even though I have said that for months, and I need to figure out something so the tank isn't just a solid color.

It looks like my 74 750 has the same black area, let me go measure it real quick.

If life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If life hands you tomatoes, make tomato soup. If life hands you a box of hand grenades... well, now... THAT'S a message!!

The paint work order mentioned the two tones but somehow the instructions got lost...
Here is the pic...

These are the measurements of the decal area. I imagine if you shrink the area just a little bit you would have room for the decal.
