all the writing are decals [from the image works] more expensive than the cheap ones on ebay, but much better, think the kit was around £80-90
they do advertise on ebay [classic motorcycle decals, or something like that]

JACKPOT!!! - I'm sitting here on a rainy Sunday afternoon thinking its about time I made a start on restoring my C3 and thought I'd have a look on the net to see what sort of stuff I can do to the green beastie and boom, Martin the magician appears centre stage!! First of all, quality work Martin, now if you don't mind can I ask a few questions?
How close was the green powder coat on the wheels to original and is there any particular colour I should tell my coating guy to get as I'm sure he won't have Kawasaki green floating about? Also my frame is polished and I want to return it to standard, any particular paint brand / code that is very close to original?
Thanks, steve
