Clearcoat before or after applying decals/pinstriping?

[80gs1000e]

Do you need more than just the tank? Some is peeling away, but I may have a complete set if I do both sides. I'm not sure until I go check, but between us we may be golden.

I'm leaving for a ride in the Black Hills right now. I'll do this on Monday.

Excellent. If you want to do both sides of the tank that would be cool. Feel free to do a side panel and a tail section if you like, the more the merrier and I can compare with my rubbings. I only have the side and tail stripings on my bike but my rubbings on those came out pretty good. I am missing the tank striping all together so your rubbing will make us a complete set. Golden we shall be. I'm going to post the pics over the weekend and hopefully will have finished the template for the side and tail. I can envision the final product already!!!! I really love the striping style a la 1980, way cool!

Nobody has this set and we can share the templates with not only the GSR but with those reproduction places. They may even trade the templates for a few sets if I can convince them. Wouldn't that be cool? Thanks

OK, I have a template of the tank done - finally. Here is a link to the picture of how I did it. I used some tracing paper and a pencil. I taped it to the tank and all of the individual pieces are taped together. I'm ready to send it by mail now. PM me your address and I'll send it pronto.

My Suzi Dec's are stock under clear.

Mine too and I really really really wish there were a way to remove them and have the tank still look good afterward without repainting it.

AWESOME! I must have missed this one! Sending you a PM right now. I am about 50% done with the computer template. I scanned them in and am now finishing it up. Once I get yours I'll attempt to make it into a template for a complete step. It'll be a little tricky since those lines curve a bit more than the sides and rear. I'm psyched to get it knocked out! Thanks Swanny.
