RE: Honda xl 500 and Yamaha xt 125 day today. Almost ready for spring time.
Very nice. I use to print the pinstripes for the xt model and can say that it is a total hassle to apply. I don't much about the hardware but think those are very reliable and think innovative bikes in for their time. Especially the xt, did it not start something new in the way it was made?
In pinstripes do you mean stickers or decals? Not sure about it being innovative. I bought it as it was cheap and missing a seat, not run for 15 years, so just a nice little investment.
yes the decals those red and black on the tanks. They were xt fans so I had quite a few decals to do depending on bike colour but always sticking to original shapes etc. Bit shady on the history so probably wrong on the innovation part
I met this guy once at work, that had a side business making stickers, he told me to wet the surface with slightly soapy water before fitting them, he was correct, never had a problem fitting them since.
