Need decal help. Any 750K 74-76 owners?
« on: November 01, 2010, 08:56:30 AM »
If you 750K owners have the OEM Tank striping decal can you measure the length and height for me? I can't seem to locate one for a 76 550K but the 750K looks really close. The only problem would the 750 length being too long for the 500 tank. Thanks!

I think you should try Reproduction Graphics, they cannot advertise Honda but if you mention this forum they can probably help you out.

Thanks I forgot about that site. They never come up when googling decal sets. I dunno about reproduction graphics, if they can't put the right set on their site, makes me wonder.

I'm still torn on whether to do OEM or use the earlier model 1972 750K stripes. The reason I posted this is because I found a guy locally that has the 74 - 76 750K set for cheap. Not really wanting to pay ~$100 for decals and not wanting to paint the black insert. Decisions decisions. I'm at the primer stage so far. Next week will be color (white laquer) then after that two stage Spray-Max clear. I'll need to figure out the decal scheme before the clear coat. Maybe I should do a poll? Here ar two pics of the decal schemes I like. I like them both equally. I'm not going for exactly original but something in the CB family. Color is white.

Reproduction Graphics was gone after by Honda the same way they are going after David Silver. I think they can't advertize Honda graphics.

We can close this thread. I just bought a decal set from member mayor08 from Chicagoland.
