Man I am glad Tri Z tunes did not want these!!

I am going to have to change all my fender stickers now. Most people don't realize but the OEM Tri Z decals are not black. They are actually really dark blue-ish gray.

Oh well...the ones by the rider's calves are still available....

ah....feels good!!

Dude I am telling you!!

I'll probably be selling my ATC 250r headlight guard and front fender stabilizer. Plus I have all the old plastic....so I have some play money.

Dammit!

I'd probably do the same. Never cared much for the stabilizers and guards. I'd be tempted to keep the plastics for riding though. Kinda like putting on your raggy clothes when you know you're gonna get dirty.

Darius, you ought to grab a new factory rear fender for those decals while you can still get them. Then you can ride with what you have now and keep the new factory stuff for show!

Great find!

Good point Jeb. The trouble is that I ride for 'show'. Just kidding.

I know its silly but when you can find OEM thats was once discontinued it kinda makes you feel like its back in the day...ya know? Versus...having to go to sign show and ask them to make some crappy cut out letters that always fall off

Yeah, our world has become a twisted place...

Today you buy a new fender for your OEM decals, instead of buying new decals for your fender! :wondering :p

If he apply's them right you won't even see the tear.

Yeah I read pretty careful and noticed that. I think once I install them it won't be noticable. If its really bad then then I just keep them to have em.

thats the reason I didnt bid, It looks like the T is tore in half from the back picture of them.

Well...I guess it will be excited to see what I got when it comes in!!

You gotta take a risk...sometimes a bad picture can keep other bidders out!

thats true!! if nothing else, Jared could take it, and copy it to be exact on the 86 set now since people have said they dont match up that well.

The trouble that Jared told me about was that the exact color match is hard because the vinyl used in the decals is off white. Most vinyl you buy is bright white.

So the reason these were valuable to me is because the background will be a perfect match.

We will see. I have only seen 1 other set on ebay in the last 2 years...I figured what the heck!

You also can't print off white because little yellow dots will show up.

I will say that the kits Jared put on the OEM fenders look great on ebay. I just wanted OEM...for old times sake!

Actually for new times sake since I never had the dang OEMs' to begin with!

Jared's good work:

Now with the clear layer he puts on them they should be very very durable.
