Oct 25: Where To Buy Tank Stripe Decals for '83 KZ750 L3?

RD Decals web site says they shut down for vacation in the summer, but summer is over and it doesn't seem like they are back in business.

I'd like to buy a set of '83 KZ750 tank stripe decals. Is there another supplier?

RD decals site: rddecals.afegraphics.com/view_product.ph...3KZ750L3-BLTK-K00909

Message when attempting to order:Shopping Cart is OFF-LINE.
Summer is here.
We are doing something completely different.
More than 30 years of service with the same staff for decades.
We are obligated to provide weeks and weeks of vacation time.
Plus overtime hours staff built up during the busy season.
Result.
We've shut down for a couple months over the summer.
YES it's true, a couple of months.

The site will allow you to view product and plan projects.
You can view your profile with any past orders you have in the system.

You cannot place new orders.
No-one is here to ship.
Please don't send us an email to tell us our shopping cart is not working.
It was us who turned it off.
Or ask us to come back to work, we are on vacation.


We hope this period of time allows the world to recover from trade negotiations and shipping logistic irregularities currently in play.
Having caused much frustration and extra administrative work over the last few months.
If you are a small business out there, you'll understand this statement.

Stay and play safe out there this summer.

It looks like I am waiting for the Canadian summer to end. Diablo only makes decals for the KZ700.

I have seen some info that the 83 750 L was offered in 3 color versions, Candy Cobalt Blue, Candy Persimmon Red, Ebony. Have seen some tank and tail strips where the orange is on top and some where the orange is on the bottom. Some have matching strips on the tail and some have the number 750 on them.  Which set are you seeking?

Thanks for the response ( I have always liked that color scheme). It does sort of look like you will have to wait till summer is over.

I will look else where for  that which you are looking for, but to this point as you have said RD has made them in the past and I hope they will once open again.;

I live in the city where Diablo (Reproduction Decals) is located, its about a 20 minute drive from my house. I have been there many times over the past 15 years.

Its a Mom and Pop shop, there are two other guys there in the back, and I think they may be relatives of the owner (Andre) I have only ever seen 4 people working there, his wife answers the phone. Andre does all the decal layouts full size on a drafting board measuring directly off of tanks, side covers, and tail pieces.

If you can provide Diablo a proper sample, they will reproduce the decals, and add them to their catalog.

Diablo Cycle does not make a set of decals for the KZ750L3. They make decals for the 1984 KZ700A which are VERY different.
