Tank decals
« on: July 06, 2012, 08:16:41 pm »
I am giving the TM 125 a little bit of a make over and I am after a set of tank decals, but I thought for something a little different I would try and give it the "factory" look.
Does anyone know where I might be able to get decals that are similar to the RH look.

I'm pretty sure Carl at PDS Graghics has done the 72 works style...ph 32083440 Brisbane.
QVMX.....Australia's #1 VMX club......leading the way.

Gday Nipper,

How did you go with factory stickers???

Here is a few pics of my 74 TM400...
i had a mate respray my TM and RM370 tanks and went to look at it all painted and ready for the clear coat,,as i walked into the workshop i decided the original green style sticker wasn't for me and i wanted to change it...there an then we peeled of the green and designed the 71 style sticker.
I was always going to add S logo and have a Champion & Belray sticker on the top of the tank, so glad i changed the design to have a factory look.
The pic aren't all that great ,,takin with phone, does not do propper justice on how good the tanks look





Cheers

A good addition for the TM

Nipper..... my mate had a graphics printer so we googled pics of the 71 TM's and made the stickers roughly to size. It worked out better than what we thought. TMman says he can get graphics printed!!!

Tm Bill... The RM400N was a shed find 12 yrs ago, i never expected to get the RM370 & TM400 but they came together in a deal just over a year ago. Now Im tempted to find a RM250Z to build,,,,if i can get the wifes permission or maybe hide it with the other yellow bikes..hahaha
