    Are you talking about the factory VIN and safety stickers, for a full restore? Interesting...

    Just guessing that it would have to come from the manufacture or it would not be valid. I would try to email or contact them directly. Interesting question, look forward to other folks reply's.

    I've seen a bunch of sellers on eBay that reproduce the metal ones but I believe the 82 550 would just be a sticker. Everything I've restored the sticker was just blasted off and I didn't bother replacing it. I've seen your Z1 restos so I can see why you want to reproduce. @chacal would probably be the one to ask although I vaguely recall some previous threads on this and the legality concerns. I've always had the mindset that if you're reproducing it accurately then no big deal but I wouldn't advise someone else to do so.

    Yes its more for restoration. The tags have some pertinent information. There are a lot of people doing them for other bikes like the Z1900 for haven't found anyone doing them for these bikes. I will have to contact a few of them before I have the frame blasted and powder coated. I will check out BDdesigns

    did you contact him?
    If he did my XJ650LJ I don’t know why he can’t do yours. I think they’re all custom anyway

    There’s a glitch in his website as his listing starts alphabetically and ends with Honda.
    He’s actually a Yamaha guy, as I said he did a replacement for me.
