Rob D Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Hi! I'm a newcomer to this site and am wondering if anyone can help. I'm helping a mate restore a Dragstar XVS125 and the tank needs a dent pulling out and then respraying. Does anyone know where we can get original tank decals from? If so, your help will be greatly appreciated Cheers, Rob D.
2 Wheels Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Does anyone know where we can get original tank decals from? Rob D. There's a fella that comes once a year and he's pritty good at getting what ya want. He's called,,, Santa. :lol: Sorry mate, i had ta do it ! I have no clue where to get Classic stuff from, some of the lads will sort ya out in a wee while. Welcome to the YOC
Moderator drewpy Posted December 11, 2010 Moderator Posted December 11, 2010 normally the sprayers will do that for you! should be able to get decals from yamaha. We've no idea where you live so there's no point in recommending any local suppliers!
Rob D Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks Drewpy! My mate can do the spraying, but it's just the decals that are causing the problems. I live in the Manchester area but with the wonderful world of t'interweb location isn't really a problem. I'll re-check the Yamaha web-site again too. Cheers, Rob D.
christofeser Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk/spares/epc2.asp?ModelID=9737&pageID=24 There ya go mate, scroll down to "Graphic set" and the "emblem". Have fun with your heard attack when u see the price! And welcome to YOC. Chris
Rob D Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks for that Chris. Blimey! You weren't kidding about the heart attack! 215 quid. They've got to be having a laugh. Looks like a dinky paintbrush and a steady hand are gonna be needed.
Moderator drewpy Posted December 12, 2010 Moderator Posted December 12, 2010 that narrows it down, If you still have your graphincs legible on the tank sunrise graphicscan do you a set, they are based at St Anns nr Blackpool. or if you want to chance it, take the tank to a vinyl sign place and have them do it. be careful as you need the UV stable stuff.
Rob D Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 Excellent! Thanks Drewpy. That'll be useful for some other guys I know that do restorations. What a brilliant forum this is. Such quick and helpful responses. Cheers again, Rob D.

2 Wheels Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Was my referance no good to ya Rob D ? :lol:
Rob D Posted December 12, 2010 Author Posted December 12, 2010 That's a bargain! I'll get my mate on to it straight away. Much easier than faffing about spraying it etc. Cheers Chris! This forum just gets better and better. 2Wheels. Your suggestion was helpful, but my mate hasn't got the patience to wait for the sound of tiny hooves on his roof. Rob D.

christofeser Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Oh hang on, the one I linked you has a big ding in the top (where the white thing is) Not sure if that will hinder you/if it can be pulled. Chris
