    Angry Tank decals question

    The original tank stickers on my 04 Kawasaki KX500 have bubbled real bad, I'm told they're not available anymore ( factory replica's but thicker ) from Factory Effex because it's so old (?) and no-one else is around that will help. Find that a little hard to stomach, the Bikes barely 4 years old and still a baby , Any suggestions ?

    Cheers Mate, must be the Achilles heel of the older KX's, funny though the pic of the KX5 seems to be a much smaller Bike, hmmmm

    Tracing, redrawing of even designing your own is easy enough to do...
