Maybe I missed it? Does the site have some place to deal with finishing off your ride? Who used what? And did you have pro do it? And then there the whole monie thing.Since I'm on a roll who or where can I find decals, like the one in the top left of the home page.

I'm most likely going to use Precision Motorcycle Painting

www.precisionmotorcycl...nting.com/

They gave me a quote to paint my 750 tank and cafe tail: $890 including shipping.



As for decals try Custom Vinyl Graphics

www.customvinylgraphics.com

They have all the standard logos and more.



If you need decals for restoration try Bike Bandit

www.bikebandit.com

They still have most of the old stripe kits.



Yamaha has all their logos in illustrator format (for vinyl cutting) on their website

If anybody is serious, I can walk you through a paint job. I can be checked out on the newbe page."yet another Canadian". I can't tell you how to do a show candy, but if you listen, everyone will think a pro did it.

Won't have to worry about painting it.I'll no sonner pick to gun up and
Dad will tell me I'm doing it wrong.He'll end up painting for me.No worries he's been a body and fender man ever since I can rember, Think he might
of even used lead in a couple of cars. Retied now but somehow I think he took over my project.
