Title: Dia-comp decals
Post by: mivvi on November 15, 2005, 04:59 PM
Is there any chance of a couple of decals for MX1000 brakes floating about? You know the ones, ovalish red ones, the only decals on them. I have a set so badly scratched I want to repaint them, they don't currently have any on them now. ..........God, what a stupid question but had to ask!  :-\

as soon as they are repro watch the price of dia compes drop as most people have used ones that could look new with a little work

Ah, so im not the first to look into this then! Will be a difficult decal to get right, they are mirrored back which seems to shine through the red.  :-\

Well lets cross our fingers and see what comes up!

Will these improve braking efficiency of fake Dia Compe brakes? ;D

Well this is all good news lads. As I started the post can any of you luck buggers let me know if they do appear at any point?  :D

And as for your question Darkslider, it will ruin the complete balance of the bike if you fitted these to fakes. You won't be able to pop those smooth wheelies anymore, lol..... ;D
