    GS 1000g decals and colour schemes

    I have a 1980 GS1000g that I have to repaint and restore back to original and I live in Australia. Can anyone help me to find the original decals/stencils/patterns for the tank and sidepanels and ducktail.
    I have looked everywhere and cany seem to find where to get them.

    Colour is black with orange/red decals stripes.
    Thanks

      Can you post a pic?
      I have the same bike but in silver.
      I got mine copied before i took them off and the guy who did it still has the stencils on his computer i believe. If they are the same pattern and you can give a colour sample i am sure he can do them up.

          Hi Landshark - where did you get them done? Were you happy with them? How much did they charge?

          I could only find one mob locally who would do them and they wanted over $400!!!

            To scan and print them cost me between $100-150, i cant remember exactly.
            I got them done a few months ago, but i still havent painted my tank or plastics.
            If you are interested i will take a photo of them, i am happy with them, but i cant really comment on the quality as i dont have enough experience.
            The guy who did them is a young bloke who mainly does bike stuff, he is fair and reasonable in my opinion.

            David,
            My colour scheme is different, but i think the surrounding pin stripe is the same. I cant look right now, but i will check and let you know.

              99% sure we didn't have that colour scheme in the US... Why don't you paint it? Must be able to mock that up from photo's I would think.

                i had the same problem for my gs850 as the paint scheme was different for the usa and the rest of the world.
                i found a company in the UK that has all the euro spec graphics for vintage bikes.
                it cost me 50 pounds for a complete set of decals.

                i'll dig out the name and post it here when i have more time.
