    Looking for 1978 GS550 decals?

    I finally got the last coat of 2K clear on the tank of my 1978 GS550. Looks good with the exception of where a bug got on it! (that's what I get for spraying outdoors!)

    I cannot find a decal set for this bike anywhere. I've tried all the usual places, Reproduction decals, Diablo, Vintage Decals, but no one seems to have it??

    Anyone know of a place that sells them?

    Thanks,
    Ron

    When I painted the tank on my '79 550 I used standard pinstripe tape. Is that an option on your bike?

      Yeah, I could just use pinstripe tape but I was hopeful that I could find something that looks more original. May look at some GS450, GS550 or GS750 stripes from other years and see what is out there.

      Nice paint job by the way!

        What do the stock graphics look like? Can you post some photos?

        The pinstripe job photos posted earlier are a very close copy of the original graphics for the 1979 GS550E. I didn't make up that scheme myself.
