Post by: MartyC on January 30, 2011, 01:07 PM: Love it, looks amazing - Del and Dan put that magic into a restoration for sure :4_17_5:

Not wishing to be nit-picky, but is the left fork decal on the right way?? I thought they run from bottom to top on the left (they do on my RSR) :-\.

They do on all my other Robbo's .. But as it's a 78 and not much known about the decals . I can't find anything on the museum to help me . I put the decals on the forks the same way they were before it was striped and I think the decals were original from the bike being new. Who knows :daumenhoch: .. I have added the R logo to the down tube that it didn't have before and think it looks better for it . :)

:LolLolLolLol: Jeeeez Carl , we had all this conversation last week at yours ......... you decided then it was staying as it originally was despite me saying it would do my head in :D

The one consolation is all your pics will be taken of the drive side of the bike and that fork decal is on the correct way ;) ;D
