Adrain I just saw one on Ebay while looking at Penton/KTM parts. Toolsurfer

Try re-wetting the decals and use a careful application of a heat gun or hair dryer on the decals. Usually when first applying them on a wet, slightly soapy surface, the heat will allow the decals to stretch some allowing them to form to the contour better. The tank color looks good. The side panel seem a little dark. Mike

OK I will try this out. Indeed the two reds are not exactly the same. It is Ford Crimson Red in both cases but didn't come out the same.

Great job, looks amazing.

The bike looks awesome! The shade of red on the tank looks fine to me, and the side panel too dark. Maybe repaint the side panel with a white primer underneath to brighten it up a bit.

Indeed, I used a dark primer for the side panels. On top of that I did the side panels myself, the tank was done by a local body shop. The finish and thickness of the paint cover on the tank are much better than what I did. Maybe I'll try your suggestion.

Cheers
