I have the same need for the "MotoCross 125cc" decal plus the large DKW logo sticker for the airbox cover. I sent pictures and dimentions to Eurodirt recently and they promised to let me know if they could reproduce them. If you have luck finding them, please let me know. I'll do the same.

Well, progress is being made, the DKW sticker for the airbox cover is being set up to be reproduced. I can E amil you a pic if it's something that you are interested in.
As for the tank sticker, I've been noticing that the color of the letters depends on the color of the tank. Can someone help me out with the color combos??  It looks as though the Blue tank had silver/ gray letters,or possibly a light Yellow? the Copper color I beleive has Siver/gray letters. I can get them made in any colors that you need, E mail me if you need more info.
This same person will be making my Penton decals when the time comes.
Also I've got pics of the "motocross" sticker and the "crosscountry" sticker but I don't have one for the "enduro" sticker, can anyone help with that??  thx    Dan[^]

Dan,
I'm not sure you could tell from the photo that I sent you, but the sticker on my copper colored tank had "MotoCross" in a light gray/green (or maybe silver/gray), and the "125cc" in white.

Most of the ones I've seen, the cc's are in white, and the lettering is a contrasting color. I'll get yours made up in the silver/ gray color and see what you think.
I bid on a "Motocross Hornet" tank on E bay and it had kind of a cream color letters with red numbers with a black outline. And the lettering style was just slightly different. This whole project is turning out to be interesting.

Are the decals made yet ?  Will the side airbox cover ones have a chrome background?[8D]

Thanks for letting us know. I will bid on the tank decal, but I still need the airbox decals. Sorry that your source didn't come through. I'll see if I can find anyone locally that might be able to help.

Mike,
Good luck on the Cross Country decal. I am only interested in the MotoCross decal. I am curious if he has more than one copy. I would guess that he can have more made if the price is attractive.
