Look forward to the progress pics

Hi Carbyman

Very nice. Do you mind telling me where you found your tank stickers - Nightmare Racing don't appear to sell that particular style. And, what made you go with green fork gaiters? I've been trying to decide between black or no gaiters - but green looks nice! I have an 82 125

Cheers, Jim

Title: Re: new resto project.
Post by: carbyman on July 07, 2009, 07:49:56 pm: Hey guys
The tank stickers were made by motor grafixs at lidcombe sydney Around $60
The KX liquide cooled and not fitted yet uni-trak from reproduction decals Approx $60 for the pair USD + post
The green gators i picked up 2 pairs at Ballarat Swap meet 2 years ago there was a guy there in the bike section that had a big box full of them so i have 2 x KX250C1 's so i bought 2 pairs .. thats the reason also why i used them
Thanks for the praise guys :)
