Can these be purchased in Europe yet? I will have to look for the part numbers. I want to make some into either yellow, or red with white outlines. I would have someone copy them at a local sign shop and go from there.

I was going to suggest you could have some made up, in the UK there are loads of companies that will make up anything you want, back when I was in to 4 wheels some guys had some really nice work done, just about finding the right place, to answer your question I have not herd anything about them being on sale yet. I see were your going though could look really smart.

mortiis,

i know almost anyplace can make them up. I just don't have the exact dimentions to work with. As i have seen, they are narrow up front, then get a little wider in middle and rear. So i have nothing to go by here yet.

Doh! those things are curved, tapered, all different different sized blocks. I'll get something that a clever dude may be able to work with. ::)

HoebSTer,
Try Yamaha part numbers 23P-28393-00 and 23P-28394-00.
Some have already ordered and received them from Alford Bros in Folkestone, Kent, UK http://www.alfordbros.co.uk/ so they are probably available from many sources now.

Also, just noticed you have two threads started on the same topic. Maybe a Mod can merge them?

On a related note, can any current owner tell me how the yellow Super Ténéré decals are affixed on the bike? Are they top-layer decals? Or, less likely, are they decals with clear coat over the top?

I like the Raven black, but personally dislike the red colored Super Ténéré decal. If I order a Raven, I would remove the red decal and affix the yellowish gold one. I'm still on the fence between the blue/black and black and if the red decal is clear-coated on, that would solidify my decision to go with blue/black.

I just ordered a Super Tenere tank pad from Allfords thru their ebay ad. I asked them if they had the Yamaha block decals and they replied that they didn't have them.

thanks chadx I will look into it and see how much it is.
Stevepsd, from ADVrider, said they cost 14 UK Pounds each (around $24) from the above listed source, so not too bad. Sometimes Yamaha is quite proud of their decals. For the WRR, the side shroud sticker costs more than the shroud itself.

that's what I'm gonna do.

It'll cost all of $20.00
What are you going to use for a pattern? Can you just take a picture of a bike with those stripes?

Thanks

I am not a fan of the stripes. If my S10 has them....I'm going to be removing them as soon as I can.

Since yours is a USA ordered unit, it will not have the stripes, nor will it have the silver side panels. I am a fan of each of those items and intend to fit them to mine when it gets here.

They're decals applied directly to the paintwork. They rarely do it properly these days :(

I believe they just go straight on to the top layer, same as your safety stickers all over the tank, hair dryer, patience, good polish, job done..
