Ebay has a lot of Honda or Wing decals.

OEM style decals are available here:

+1 on the eBay Honda wings. Looking good on your new paint scheme, can't wait to see the finished product :good:

Hmm, wonder how that same strip would look on the false tank, following the lip curve.

Dan, is this what you are thinking of? Looks interesting. :music:

I was wondering how it would look with the white stripe in an extended v going up to the cowl and tank. Maybe with a gold pin stripe.

That is a great site for decals...but expensive. Is that what Honda used for their bikes from the factory? They must be designed to have clear coat sprayed over them, right?

Lots on Ebay too. Some say "sticker" which I assume means that you stick it over the finished paint.

Thanks for that
Brian

This is the only pic I have with the orange/white and the seat on. The seat is now apart again

Some of you guys probably saw the Orange Crush built over at NGW. This is the decal I need. He never said what Honda that decal is from. Anyone recognize it?

Or I already have these in my brit bike parts box. Could we just agree that from now on the bike is a BSA. :smilie_happy:

Decided to keep it simple and not make it look too decorated. Might still look for a badge for the tank. Also I decided to use blue pine stripes because of their natural contrast with orange (complementary colours). :Egyptian:

[canuckxxxx]

Thanks guys. The support and motivation I got from this forum was a big part of doing this mod. :thanks:

Quite a difference from when I started to now. It takes my breath away every time I see it...I keep going to the garage just to look at it. :Egyptian: :music: :yahoo:

Just had a brain fart: :head bang: Maybe I could put the "GoldWing" emblem from the side cover onto the shelter. :headscratch:

One problems is that the emblem would have to be curved to match the shelter. Would heat make it curvable?

Maybe a couple mins in the oven would work on the emblem, but I like the way it looks now.
