1975 Z1B Super Candy Red

#1 PostAuthor: CJAY » Thu Feb 01, 2007 8:31 pm

I 'm just in the process of having my tank sprayed and am struggling to get a decal set. My paint man says he can do the job, but I need a close up shot of the black strip so he can ge the taper right towards the seat end of the tank.

Any help appreciated

Cheers

CJay, decal sets always for sale on EBay ($59). as for taper and black strip, black strip is painted, not a decal and the taper seems different on every bike I've seen, try the gallery for photos of members bikes. Our kids got a candy Red ZIB (Z1B Alan) PM him and ask him to supply a photo of his tank (painted by Mark Hutchinson) for an idea. Are you going to Donington? bound to be some B's there to photo/measure.

Hi there
If it's graphics you want, I use a really nice and talented fella called Geoff Ward at Sunrise Graphics - gi.ward@ntlworld.com
He'll almost certainly know the dimensions of the B graphics and can supply the white striping and the gold 'bands' for tank and ducktail. The black panels on the tank need to be painted I believe cus the compound curves are too 'steep' to apply a vinyl graphic without creasing. Geoff will be at Donington this weekend - if you're going.
Failing that, I have a B with original paint so I could maybe get some photos to you if that helps.
Good luck! :sf
