Petrol tank decal "Always wear your helmet, preserve nature"
« on: April 11, 2006, 11:58:25 PM »
I would like to source one of these if any kind soul has a spare they would like to sell me..I can pay with paypal or just slip a $NZ5 note into an envelope for you..The joke is that $NZ5 equates to $USA3.07...I call our dollar the Pacific Peso, with no disrespect to our Mexican members..

These people do them:

or you could try emailing these guys:
<decals@motographix.com.au>(NSW)

I haven't purchased from either yet so can't comment on their service.

Thanks for the reproductiondecals link turtle. I bought a set for my 1969 CB750 off them but it didn't include the petrol tank decal as it is not correct for my year of production. A friend of mine thought that the helmet decal would be great for the following reasons.

1. The average old motorcyclist relates to this decal.

2. It's not absolutely correct but the CB750 and this particular decal really go together like beer and nuts.

3. I don't care, I just like that decal. I had one on my old 1973 CB250.    Regards,  TC.

I just received my order from Reproduction Decals. They send white and black tank stickers depending on bike color. I have a white one if you are interested.

I didn't realize reproductions of those stickers are made.  Now I don't feel nearly as cool with the original and slightly faded one on my tank.  :-\

I love the translation "Always wear your helmet, preserve nature" - I wonder what they really meant to say?

Cheers,
