It's not for sale, but I'd gladly scan it and send it to you via e-mail. If you have somebody local, that could print on vinyl, and do the artwork to 'create' the left side - it would be great. The guy I found (in Sarnia) said that CB Decals price is pretty good... he couldn't do it for less. 2009 DN-01 Spakin' New! 1982 CX500 Turbo & Parts bike 1981 SL185 Yamaha Exciter 198?

Then I can do the flop and put them up on the drop IO. Lucky it needs to be more than mirrored. If it's only mirrored the text will be backwards. But a simple cut and paste and I could put it in the right spot. 1979 CX500 Supertanker ATGATT makes riding a bike like a sled easier. Quick Reference    Report
