Cutting up some 3AJ decals, Blue

Unable to find any for sale, I'm having some tank stickers cut out of vinal by this lot: Decals & Stickers - Graphics & Signs - Based in the UK with customers worldwide He's making them up from the .pdf files I got from Raul on here. It's the design for the '89 3AJ model in blue.

Just wondering if:
1. Anyone fancies in? Getting a few sets done will keep the price down for all of us (quote at the moment:£35 for one set)
2. Does anyone have any pictures of original decals that I could use for colour matching - idealy on the bike? Some pics in nice neutral light would be great. The bloke's sending me some colour samples at the moment.

Cheers all,
VT

VT,

If they are the yellow and blue tank decals, I'm interested and can provide whatever pictures required.

The guy at the decal place sent me a couple of bits of vinyl to see the colours. I spent a (not unplesent) half hour or so cruising the internet to get a good range of colours, then realised that as there are no original decals on the bike anyway, just getting shades that work together should be good enough. Cheers for the offer though, Brian.

Thanks for the link, Bruken. I'd spotted that one but they don't cover the 3AJ. The only ones I could find that were right were on an italian website for silly money (>£100!).

Flat out - I am expecting them to arrive tomorrow. £35 including delivery. I'll let you know how they turn out, but it may be a while as I need to get the tank painted first and have a competing pushbike project. They are the yellow-and-blue decals - the same design as the (cracking) pic in the '3AJ modifications' thred on this board.

Hi Mezo,

I've PM'ed you about the decals. Give me a shout if you don't get it. Not had chance to apply them yet, but offering them up they seem to be right size.

Love your frame stand in the ADV thread. And the frame too, actually.
