Post by: MartyC on July 04, 2008, 03:10 PM: Good job that man; Kenda MX knobbies (get them from Gini @ Rini) are what they originally shipped with and would look great :4_17_5:.

Tap up Cheekythirtysix for some decals, or the artwork at least for Del as he has some cracking masters in both decal styles. Keep an eye on egay for the Scorpion head tube badge, they do turn up :daumenhoch:

thanks for the advice marty, will check out the tyres. I am sure my exploder had a sticker on the headtube,not a badge, wish i took photo's bitd.i think you can just see the style of decal in some of the old adverts you sent me. i am sure it had 3 stripes, one red then yellow and red again. :daumenhoch:
