Hi folks, trying to get a complete kit made here for the white and black tri-z's.

I found three old tri-z's in my pop's barn of vintage machines today. There is a decal on the front LEFT fork that has all kinds of writing on it and is rectangular in shape. It is on a yellow tri-z. Is this the SHOWA decal?

Ill check back in 30 min. hopeuflly someone can answer this one quickly...

thanks in advance!

I am not 100% sure, but I think the Showa Decals were the same on all 3 models. I know my 86 had one, but I didnt study it that well, and it ended up getting stripped off during the restore.

Also, can anyone verify if the choke settings were the same between the 86 (on the headlight) and the 85, and 851/2s (on the airbox cover)

Where is that first shifter decal located... i made that last week for someone and put it on my ebay store... i dont see that in my fiche finder...

Can someone e-mail me either a vertical or horizontal dimension of the energy induction decal? Neil sent me a picture but i need a dimension of either axis doesnt matter which, also need a dimension on either axis for the choke decal(s)

thanks

okay thanks

I guess both the decals on the headlight are the same size, as I have the shifting pattern decal already, so i really just need the energy induction decal dimension

you can either just type in the address, or use the image source code. If you have the sticker on your comp, you can always just add the attachment to your post. You do this by hitting "Manage Attachments" below

Jared

All you have to do is type the complete url, and put [img@] before it and [/img@] after it. Do not include the @. I had to put that in there to keep it from trying to dispaly a photo in this post.

Example [img@]http:///www.mywebspace.pictures/bike.jpg[/img@]
