Stick them anywhere.... :shocked:..i wouldnt sleep :LolLolLolLol:

I have a couple of motomags and a super 2 with original decals applied if anyone needs measurments. :daumenhoch:
Its mainly the cali and the my super 3 that im re-decaling.

Im ok on the downtubes as that is the only decal remianing on the super 3.....fork decal fitment would be handy.From the bottom of the fork to the start of the decal ;)

Cheers

Bottom of decal being clear end and bottom of fork being the tube, rather than the dropouts. Im away over the weekend, but can get you some pics on Monday if it will help?
