Lou, FYI, Testors makes a decal kit for making custom decals using your computers inkjet printer. It cost's about $6.00 at Wal-Mart (Toy Dept.) and includes the software (mini- disc CD), a can of decal bonder, and sheets of clear water transfer decal material. I just bought one but I haven't had time to try it out yet. According to the literature additional sheets of decal material and bonder can be ordered thru Testor's. Also the software allows you to download additional decal designs, assume from Testors also. Thanks, Kris Koller - Martinez, CA. where the riding weather has been cold but awesome the last couple of days!

The cars always came with neat pinstriping and flame decals that had to be placed in water to lift from the paper. Some of the pinstriping decals were quite elaborate. Has anyone ever tried these decals on a bike? Do they adhere to paint and handle clearcoat over them okay? Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
