Try this place - scroll down for the '87 Hurricane decal, up at the top click on 1000F for CBR, Honda Wings, etc.

Try:
www.restorationdecals.com
They are in Canada. I had them make some decals for my C70 Passport Resto and they came out absolutely perfect. Honda is not listed on their site for some strange reason but I emailed them and sent an old decal to to use as a template. Took about 2 weeks including shipping. I think they can reproduce most decals as long as they are out of production.

The decals like the stripes are bloody expensive here in oz aren't they!

TW Performance here in OZ sell the standard Honda stickers, but not the srtipes or anything.

But I am planning on painting my bike plain black with no stickers to make it harder to identify when I'm seen doing silly stuff. :P

Hey Trips, i've had the black with no stickers in the back of my mind for a while now, though can't afford the bucks for a pro spray, have just contacted a bloke who does his own spraying at home and he is going to show me the ins and outs. You doing it yourself?
jOel, can you post a pic, like to see the respray

Nah, I have seen to many horror stories about re-spray's gone bad to do it myself. 2 pack is to espensive to stuffup.

I am trying to decide between a gloss black and a flat black.

Yeah its a tuff decision, matt, gloss, gloss, matt, i see shiny black beasts and i think thats great then i see a matt black bike in a shop and think yeah thats great, which ever way you go will be good, does the matt involve anything diff from a reg respray, or extra costs??? have you had any quotes yet?

Dont go for matt black. That is far too hard to look after. The non glossy black that you see on most modern bikes is actually "Satin Black"

Much better for fingerprints etc.
