My question is does anybody know what the correct sticker set for this bike was??
For now just banged on some stickers that i had lying around, they are wrong i know, but cant find any info as to what the original sticker set was.

but a lot better  :D

you can get pukka sets off ebay now,
search for VBMX, you may have to get a set for a californian or something to get the right decal (s)
