Well, I can't seem to find any decals for my bike. I'm looking for basically the complete set of OEM stickers and decals, and I've exhausted eBay, google and froogle and can't seem to find anything. My bike's a 1998, and the decals are silver but they have a gradual fade to them. The left side has some scratches through the decals, and I could easily cover the marks up if I had them replaced. Is my only option going through the dealership and paying upwards of $30 per sticker, or do any of you know where I could find some replacements?

Here's a picture of my bike that illustrates the sort of decals I'm looking to replace (notice the fade!):

There's Ron Ayers, which sells OEM stuff, but i don't see a silver color decal.

Then there is this site, which has tons of stuff.
Here is the main site for the 500-
http://www.tapeworks.com/KAWASAKI Pages/500R.html
Click the top link for the logo kit or you can make your own replica ones, which the link is on the bottom. They are kind of expensive though.
That's all i got.

Yeah lucky, those. BUT. I only need a few for the left side. And I did check out your links guys, thanks.

From Lucky's link, I get to this page here, and from the drop-down, I can choose either BLACK or RED for decals. However, I'm not sure if the BLACK and RED refer to the color of the bike, or if it's the actual decals. My bike's red (obviously), but the decals are silver. So.... I just don't want to spend near $100 and get the wrong stuff.

Thanks for the help so far!

I'm almost certain it's the color of the bike . But , I don't blame you for being cautious . That being said , if it was me I'd give them a ring before placing an order .

 

[sevencyrus]

What color is your bike? It looks like a maroon red, i thought the OEM was firecracker red.

The Kawasaki color is Candy Persimmon Red[/color] (A5)

I see
Don't want to jack the thread, but i have a quick question, dealing with OEM part lists, like the one on that site and others. I noticed on some parts it lists 2 of the same number but a different letter, like 54011 and 54011A, and you can buy both.....what is the difference? Does the "A" part refer to 1st gen?

 

[Lucky#13]

Not sure about the "A" , but the 2002 came in 'Firecracker Red'. Kidda the color of blood . That's why I'm painting mine candy apple .

I've seen some diagrams refer to 1st and 2nd gen parts on the same diagram and use the A to designate. Usually, the ones that I see are the same part, they just update the part number as new model years come along. The different model number could also refer to parts on California emissions bikes.

Thanks everyone. I'll definitely be using one of those sites to order the decals!

didn't realize how expensive those are, too bad the noobert before me took all them off

My Bike had all the decals removed by the former owner also, except for the decals on the gas tank (they are clear coated over) I need to figure out if I want to put some custom decals on, ot get replica originals from one of the sites mentioned earlier in this thread, but my bike is a silver 04, and it just looks too plain without any artwork.
