    Tank Decals for XR600

    Just painted the plastic tank on my bike. I used acrylic spray paint and only time will tell if it is going to last. It's gone from red to white.

    Thing is, I need some tank graphics. Has anyone any good suppliers or tried any out ?

    Hows the tank holding up? I've got some Halfords red plastic spray paint, thats supposed to bond to the plastic polymer?? Don't know if it will work or not.

    Tank paint is not to bad.
    The decals have lifted in a small area but I will stick'um down with something. I have seen a tank cover that has some thick good transfers moulded onto the cover and that looks the way forward. I think they can be purchased from the U.S.A.

    P.s I used plastic bummper filler/primer first !

    Good luck

    I ended getting sniped on the tank cover I was bidding on
    So I did a buy it now,for $34.99 on a Woody Racing one,from the US



    If you get one,bear in mind with this company,it's a 4 wk turnaround (which they do go to great lengths to point out)

    Got about a week and a bit to go till it arrives.........
