Reproduction steering head VIN sticker?

I'm sure that I've seen a post somewhere on one of the many Z1 forums that I've browsed in the past six months or so that gave details on where to get a reproduction steering head VIN sticker made up with your frame number and build date. (One of the PO's of my Z1-B had the frame powder-coated, so mine no longer exists)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Appreciate any help with this!

Try RB. He did the repro stickers for my H1.

Ironic when you need to 'ring' your own (legit) bikes. I guess the price of a glassy smooth 2k frame paint on 35 year old metal.

...thinking more about it, they look about as authentic as a £30 note. Vin tag rivetted on lol :laugh:

That might look right on a UK/Euro Z1, but I'm looking for the white steering head sticker for the US models (all about conforming to Federal regulations etc..).. But thanks, anyway!

Luckily my frame number, as stamped into the steering head, is still legible. I'm just wanting to give this ole' girl an all-round facelift, and the correct VIN sticker would help to take the restoration/rebuild up a notch.

I make the most exact copies.

I made templates from original decals. The other companies use standard fonts for the info on the decal. I made my own font from original decals and the date/vin look impact stamped with jagged edges like originals. Not just a clean type font.

Wow I like the reproduction. Are you selling them and if so,how much?

That really is a GREAT reproduction! Nearly every reproduction of anything I've seen shows a lack of attention to detail, so fonts are not exactly the same and words on the 2nd, 3rd, etc. lines on the reproductions do not line up with words in the lines above the same as on the originals. Yours looks perfect! Very nice work! Ed
