Could do with one of these...

cheaper than Image Works for sure, i wonder what the quality it like

How much do image works charge?

complete kit, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-KR1- ... 20d663586b I believe these are image works

just the E-box decals are £16 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-KR1S ... 1e7531c1d5

Might as well get the E box and number board stickers separately

well the ones image works are more comprehensive and £95 includes the number boards, blue for the fairing and the Ebox stickers, as well as the green for around the headlight. [I'm using the GWB C2 for ref as it's what I have]

The Bolton ones [graphicdetail10] are £20 for the fairing and tank and £20 for the number boards. I suspect you don't get the blue stripes for the fairing or the green for around the headlight. These later bits are painted when new I think

I've just ordered the chain decal from image works. They have a good reputation for quality, tho' they're not cheap. But the last thing you want is to have a great paint job, lacquer the decals in and have them fade/blister etc

I have a small dink in my swingarm right where the chain decal will go, so a bit of filler and then the decal will cover it

Agreed, the cosmetics need sorting. Going to hopefully get some miles on it this year as I've blown my budget getting it roadworthy (and it's not MoT'd yet!) but then sort the paint over next winter. I'd like to go Zeus Blue, any thoughts or help as to where to get it done?

Rainbow Rides in Durham do a nice job

TBH the paint looks pretty good. If you have the fund's and want to change the colour then I'd look around for more bodywork and tank and have that painted. It's going to cost but you're not going to lose out on the stuff you have, it's only increase in value if you keep it, or you'll get good money if you sold it as a complete kit.
It would be a shame I feel to paint over good bodywork!

It's in a nice colour scheme now, but up close it gets rough and there's a few cracks and the odd little dent.. I think the pic makes it look tidier than it is probably. That back end wants re-doing whichever way I go but you're right Phil it is a shame to go over good stuff when there's bits out there that need restoring anyway. Sure I'll pick bits up off Ebay over the summer.

Thanks for the name of a sprayer Bernie, always good to get recommendations with that sort of work.

Decision made, my wife says the green one clashes with the others

Is that a YDS7 or a YR5?

A bit newer, it's an RD350B.. I'm slowly trying to get it back to standard. A bit of paint and some stickers and it'll be there soon.

Sorry it's the Suzuki that clashes
