    Okay. I've searched the archives and the ENTIRE internet (I think) and I can't find replacement tank decals for the '86 VF500F. (part#s 17518-MF2-880ZA, 17519-MF2-880ZA) The wing area of the graphic is metallic yellow-gold and is a specific size for these bikes. Here's a pic of the one on my 'good' bike:

    I need a pair of these in the OEM quality for a tank repaint for another project. Honda has discontinued them... any other sources?

    Thanks,
    BLIGHT

    I used ones from an old Elsinore on my R. Shoot these guys an email for dimensions, you might get lucky.

    I just updated THIS thread.
    I think it shouldn't be any issue to get the color you want.

    Hi guys, the '86 tank wing is a metallic yellowish gold wing color... not solid yellow like the dirt bike stickers I've seen.

    Guess I'll just have to settle for the solid yellow ones... they look pretty close to the original metallic decal from 10 ft away. They just don't 'sparkle' in the sun.

    The size on my '86 VF500 is 135mm wide x 95mm tall. (The '86 VF1000R is even larger by quite a bit)

    Thanks for the responses!

    I've done bussiness with them in the past. By far the best source for VFR and Interceptor stickers/decals.
