Post by: Bryanj on March 17, 2015, 06:40:22 AM: That Is the correct shape, were only on the K0 and I have part numbers from a Japanese parts book---never showed in a UK or US one. Most were Black writing, only the Black side panel had Gold and UK was one of the only coutries that had Black as a colour.

years back i made some printed on acetate that needed laquering over but later on had some made as stickers---Not many and cost a lot

Post by: Bryanj on April 10, 2015, 03:42:23 PM: Had to buy a 3.5 inch drive to get at the file of the original transfer but here it is as a jpeg
Title: Re: Is this a k0 transfer?
Post by: Bryanj on June 08, 2015, 10:47:11 AM: I just found the original file, as a bmp on a 3 1/2 inch floppy so had to buy an external drive to read it and hopefully it attaches here but it won't. Anybody know how to convert a bmp to jpeg?

I just had a look at that ebay link
(1) they were never laquered over
(2) I thought the ones I bought were pricey but not that much!!!

Post by: SteveD CB500K0 on June 08, 2015, 12:37:39 PM: I have added bmp to the list of file types allowed to be uploaded as attachments.

Try it now.

Steve

Post by: Bryanj on June 09, 2015, 09:28:30 AM: Thanks Steve but in my searching i found a converter and a way to resize the pic in XP so hopefully here it is. This is as it was on the original 500 imported by DS and bought by me. NB this is NOT number 36 but the first one that i bought

Title: Re: Is this a k0 transfer?
Post by: Bryanj on June 10, 2015, 06:13:35 PM: Piki the original part numbers were:-

87123-323-000B (Black)
87123-323-000KG (Gold)

These are from a very old Japanese parts book I aquired and the 323 means they were for a 500 Four.

I agree that for custom paint jobs any colour is OK and it is because of these stickers that i own No 36 as I bought some used sidepanels from the US when postage wasn't a killer and commented to the seller that they must be from a K0 due to the sticker and he sent me back the frame number At which point i negotiated a price for the frame as i was going to the states early the next year.
