Fellas,

Here's a thing I've been hearing for years....but could never tell if it does exist or if it's a myth.

If one's decide to change the gas tank decal from his/her bike...I've been told that there's a book with every single gas tank decal that harley has put out to date.

I've never seen such decal book...and the dealership/distributor here in the country never said a word about such thing...

does anyone knows about it?

for example...if I decide that I want a decal of a model from 1985..where I can check which decals were available that specific year?

Thanks a lot

Dan

 

Don't know if they have every one ever made, but check out Harley's site and J&P.

 

I know the HD dealership I visit alot has a wide variety sitting on the counter to choose from. I don't know anything about a book though....so I'm not much help[sm=gears.gif]

 

Harley, J&P, Custom Chrome, they all have some decals.There are many that are no longer available. Harley also produced some that were part decal, part screen print. Many can be duplicated by a good airbrush artist. Good luck!

 

I could've sworn the back of the HD catalog had 2 pages with all the different decals (and part numbers to order by).......

My friend put some of the 60's style (the one that looks like the North Star) on his 2002 Fatboy. It looked sharp! Made me want to get that emblem for my bike!

 

HMHD (Adventure H-D) has lots of original old stuff too. http://www.hmhd.com/links.asp Also, anything original you can't get, but can get a good photo or scan of can generally be reproduced (or already has for individual use only) by any of several custom graphics/tape houses. They can't necessarily market or catalog such items (lest they arouse the ire of certain corporate attorneys) but can legitimately make whatever you might need on a commission basis.

 

Thanks for the input, guys.

I've already knew of all those sites that have decals available...my main doubt was if exists such a book or log for an owner to choose a decal from.

Harley's latest phonebook..says to ask a dealer for more information on a variety of decals available...so one must have a log or something to show the customer...I imagine...

 

The decal book does exist, it's probably laying on some back self in your H-D's parts department. I have looked at it and bought decals from it.

 

My original 85 HD's tank emblems were not decals at all, They were stenciled paint..........Found this out when i stripped them

 

Go to your local small shop ask them if they have a V TWIN book or try on line they have a good list of decals of all years
