Title: Kawasaki Decal
Post by: Flienlow on October 21, 2013, 11:34:39 PM
What are the dimensions of the Kawasaki Decal on the front fairings? My bike came debadged, and I am looking for a set on flebay but there are a couple of different sizes. Anyone willing to pull a tape for me?


Thanks!

195mm in length and the K is 30mm high.

Same badge used on the early and late model.

Hope that helps!

That's odd, I just bought 2 of them to paint black for the new red bodywork and it was under $80 for the set...  :-\

The Ebay knockoffs are probably not the same quality (could be inferior adhesive or less chrome coating), but who knows.  Might be worth a try at THAT price!

That's actually a pretty good match size wise, definitely worth a try, if it doesn't stick right then no harm... :-\

I am not sure if they are identical to the stock ones, and I also need to get the dimension on where to mount them on the fairing. If someone is will to get that, and Also post a close up of their decals that would be a huge help!! So far, I think its a fantastic deal for $12 shipped!

They look smaller.  I'd check mine but they've been in a landfill for three years.

MAXtog- what is the distance from the bottom of the letters to the bottom edge? It looks like if I just draw a strait line from the "I" up to the corner of the fairing I will have the left and right distance.

Please note that ZG's photo is not a gen 2 and not even stock (aftermarket letters, I believe) and applied after repainting.  Not that it has to be exact or anything ;)

Sorry, I just pulled out stored photos and zoomed.
But it is scale.  I opened it in LibreOffice Draw, measured and confirmed.... it is exactly as high from the bottom as the lowercase letters are tall.   Left and right is easy, since you can see the screws above.
