Fairing decals

[moto748]

I know this has been mentioned before, but I've bought a second hand panel for my bike; in very good nick, but has the old, big, graphics, so will need a respray.
Where can I source the late fairing decals?

I know Morgan Designs has been mentioned here before, but I've looked on their website, and can only see "race-rep" type decals. Where can I buy the stock ones?

TIA.

Your local friendly Duc dealer!

They're not expensive, under a tenner should cover it.

[moto748]

Jeez, is it that simple?

Thanks, neil. :)

morgan design will do all graphics. Top class job.

I was looking for something I couldn't find on Morgan Designs website so I emailed them. Next day nice young lady replies with title of said decal thus allowing me to order.

[adam]

I ordered my graphics from them, like the ones on my avatar, they dont show them on the web site, but no problem to them. Got them here waiting to have them put on. Cant wait.

oi lads, told you they were good, but if you want a "celebrity replica" rather than a "race rep" ... get Morgan to cut these ones for you (pic attached) and you'll never look back ...

how easy is it to fit the graphics yourself and waht preparation is required???

im toying with getting a full infostrada kit for my p plate 748 just to make it look a bit more modern, ive always loved the old foggy reps as we all have in our time

who would you recommend, is the guy selling them on ebay any good

Worth while checking out the guys at Image Works in Ilkeston in near J26 of M1 for graphics.

Both guys are ex- Dream Machine and have every graphic you would ever need on file. If it's not on file or you want a special they will make up anything you want.

I can reccomend them to anyone.

I read in a magazine a while ago that you could apply the decals to a surface dampened with something, either diluted washing up liquid or hairspray (can't remember, might not even have been these two!!!), to allow you to position them correctly. The said substance would then dry, leaving the decal as stuck as it should be. Is this right, or have I dreamt it all up? :D

Yep - the old diluted washing up liquid will do the trick.

Cheers Tim, I was gonna use that tip to fit the number board on my 749, hope I don't cock it up (like every other DIY venture!!!) :D

[Rattler]

Yep - you might want to lacquer on top too?

[khu996]

Whoah....DIY overload! You haven't seen my previous attempts at applying lacquer to a seat cowl :P

I will HAVE to leave it to the professionals! Cheers for the advice though... :lol:

[deej]

so the best bet to save cash then is to apply stickers personally and then pay to get the panels laquered

[khu996]

If you're as good at spraying as me, thats probably your best bet! Having said that, even I wouldn't take advice from me :puzzled:

[Carbon749]

Guys an even better tip is to have a small film of water and washing up liquid on the panel, apply the decal and it will "float". When in position use a credit gard or similar and squeeze the water out from under the decal.

DON'T put loads of water on the panel, just enough to give a thin film.

If you want the "factory" look then get it laquered, but, you could leave it as is and swap and change decals as the mood take you.
