1982 Reproduction side decals
Decals were a significant problem. Yamaha no longer sells
them (Discontinued) so if I want them, they will have to be some form
of reproduction.
Fellow Seca owner Steve Smith once again stepped up to the plate and
sent color info, and his "Turbo" decal as a template. I combined
that information with a complete pencil rubbing from another bike to insure
a fairly accurate size, shape and color.
Getting the information converted to a computer file, for the vinyl cutting
equipment was very time consuming, and added up to 3/4 of my total cost for
creating the set.
Unlike the original, which was
a single layer silkscreen decal, I opted for the less expensive two-layer
vinyl method. (Note: My local sign shop now has the Turbo
and stripes image on file, and I can get you copies in nearly any color
combination you wish.) The vinyl used is top of the line 3M.

We Seca owners have
another champion out there creating reproduction decals as well.

the bar, and now has some of the more obscure decals found about our bikes available!
