The labels on the 1974 through 1977 instrument cluster bezels, eventually bleach from the original black to a (pleasing) shade of brown. Replacements have been available for some time from an outfit in the UK (classicmotorcycledecals on the ebay.co.uk site) but I wanted an alternate North American supplier as the shipping and exchange rates for bringing things in from the UK specifically can get expensive. I approached Reproduction Decals to see if they were interested in making a copy - below is a photo of what they will offer generally under their part number SGT-00-750-1. I'm not sure what the price will be as the samples only arrived in the mail this morning, but if you are also interested in getting a set, just drop them an email.
Original faded example at the top - the new one at the bottom.
Enjoy !

Thanks Rick - they do look pretty sweet ! Sounds as if Andre will be charging around $10 for these - he has quite a few new items for all makes which I'm told will be posted on their web site sometime in the next short while.
