I ordered a caution and waring decal set for the GT750 and are getting ready to install them. Does anyone have a drawing showing where they should be installed in their factory location?

Funnily enough, I just put together a list for myself on this also - see if this makes sense for you - this is for a '73 right ?

- battery warning label with the picture goes on the right side frame rail by the battery
- warning label about not blocking the injector oil cap on the inner rear fender - in line left to right, and facing forward - so it looks right side up when looking toward the rear of the bike
- tire pressure label is centred in the middle of the rear fender below the rear light mounting bracket and square with the licence plate
- the 'dont rev the engine' goes on the handle bars between the handle bar mounts
- the 'brakes don't work when its wet' label on the left lower fork leg about 2/3 of the way from the bottom
- the radiator mix decal goes on the radiator cover - square and centred in front of the fuel cap
- the wash the chain label goes on the left rear upper shock cover about an inch up from the lower edge
- the CCI label goes on the right side cover in line with the oil level bulls eye
- the DOT 3/4 label is supposed to go on the brake fluid reservoir cover

I don't know where the round yellow 'check coolant level' one goes.

Sound about right ? 8) 8)

It's always funny to me that you WANT those labels. They were always the first things I removed from my bikes.

For a cafe or modified then I agree completely Lane - it is totally owner's choice. If the aim is a restoration though, I'd suggest it would be incomplete if you left them off. My '73 Buffalo resto will have all the labels, as will my GT500 resto - however the GS framed T500 I'm thinking of eventually building won't have any. :D 8)

Ian i believe the brakes "dont work in the wet' label goes on the right side fork leg.
The only thing i can think of for the round yellow coolant one is the radiator cap, but its obviously for the modern type since the old "button" caps carry a different label.

Proof again that you should be careful asking a dyslexic for directions :oops:

You are correct, it does go on the right fork in line with the upper calliper bolt. Those yellow labels are included in most sets I've seen, but I have to admit I can't recall ever seeing one on a bike.

So, Here's a question: Did the 71 T500 have stickers like that? All I've got on mine is a CCI sticker. If they did have them, does someone make replicas?

I think '71/'72 just had the CCI label on the oil tank.
