750R Graphics

Post by Hissing Sid »

Greetings,
Son slid off his 96 750R on the mountain course mad sunday, rests/bars/mirrors/fairing pretty knackered, no problem fixing the mechanical side of things and I can repair and paint the busted bodywork, what I having problems with is sourcing the graphics. No luck with all the usual sources so the options are get some made or swap possibly to the Boost scheme.
Anyone got a good supplier or know of a source, may even go for new/old panels to restore it. Suggestions welcome.

Thanks Mike

Sid,

If you struggle - send me a pm. I run a big vehicle graphics business, but we specialise in large fleet and police / ambulance livery, rather than one-off's (it's the designers time to make one-off kits that makes it expensive & time consuming), but if you're stuck, maybe we could help.

Cheers.

We gave trying to get the graphics and son chose the Loctite scheme instead, finally finished early December. Hopefully the pic comes up.

Great looking bike that.
I've always loved the red/white loctite paint scheme. :nod:

That looks very nice. Reminds me of my old FZ750.

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

Well spotted Dave. Yes they're astralites. Bought all the bits from a friend of mine who used to race in the Auto 66 club, Manx TT and the IOM TT. ("Bob Farrington") Come to think of it I think he still does. :nod: NWS swingarm, that was a nice piece of engineering. Raask rear sets, Ohlins rear shock, Brembo front brakes and discs with quick release pin for brake pad changes. Dyna coils and other bits and pieces which evade me at the moment. Loved that bike, it went like stink and handled like a dream. :D :D :D

Have a read about him here. Mad twat he was. :lol: :lol: Haven't seen him for a while though. :(
