I realize this is a longshot, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. As the title states, I am looking for a set of tank decals for my bike. Specifically: M0730WH/GR.8 (old number 14062-95Y). Those are the white/grey variety. My local dealer says no dealers show stock so I am hoping somebody may have a set squirrelled away and might want to help a brother out. A girl tried to drive over the top of my bike when it was parked in a supermarket parking lot and I need to fix the old girl up. Thanks! |

I may have those. As on a Parkway Blue bike? Just the tank and front, no tail. |

John, I would be interested in the tank decals. I am covered on the others. I will send you a PM. My bike is a Caribbean Candy Blue 1995. The guy that is going to do the paint has already told me that it will be a challenge. He has done some of these early Buells in that past and commented it is tough to get a match to the factory finish. |

I have a set of bodywork painted in what my local paint shop was guided to be a replacement. I had more of a metal flake undercoat than expected and was disappointed at first. It does look nice, though. I've become accustomed to it, even though the bike has never been finished. What I did learn through checking with others is that there isn't a consistent level of flake showing through. You might check out the Toyota Tundra blue, Kawasaki and Honda blues. It seemed like someone else has a similar blue. It might be easier to start there and modify slightly rather than guess what the original was. I don't remember what my paint mfr/number was but I can look it up if you need. |

I'd be interested in S2 and S2T decals also if anybody knows a source? |
