I want a pair of correct "Mirage" stickers for the sidepanels of my 79 1200 Mirage. Wolfgang doesn't have any, and tells me he thinks they are supposed to be black. I have only seen them (the very few I have seen photos of) in a funky yellowish/gold like this set offered on eBay UK    http://cgi.ebay.com/LAVERDA-MIRAGE-SIDE-PANEL-DECALS-/370506111452?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item5643e299dc  the price is a little stiff, plus shipping from the UK to western Canada.

so, questions:

1. what colour are the decals supposed to be, black, or yellowish/gold?

2. what font/typeface is used for the Mirage/Laverda script if I attempt to make up a set? If I just make up a single set I am thinking of doing them in ultra metallic silver to match my current paint and striping scheme :o

3. does anyone know where I can get a premade pair of Mirage decals for a slightly more reasonable price?

4. If I go ahead and get a bunch made (Wolfgang says he'll take ten if I get some made in black) does anyone else need a set?

GOLD... Richard Slater has them.....  I also have 'em.... I'll bang them in the post ... Same deal... Just post photo of a receipt to the charity you have paid into... I can claim that against tax....  NO PROBLEM ..

Hi Tim and all

as my "Mirage" paint job is my own 2011 interpretation, I have gone ahead this evening and used Tim's proper Mirage sidecover as the basis of a stencil, then my girlfriend cut the lettering out for me from my ultra metallic striping material. I have the first side cover done, have a look at the two attached photos - not perfect, but pretty damn close for all done by hand.... I'll do the second one tomorrow.

They were yellow on my Mirage just like the panel you have there.
 
Paul, you do realise that you have the only photo of Tim's bike!
A very rare and historical piece!!!

Keep asking him to send parts to help you out, then photograph them!

  What a capital idea Grant, I'm sure with the aid of photoshop or similar a picture of the mythical beast could then be stitched together, like Frankenstein's monster. or something...

Henry I have drawn in Adobe Illustrator the artwork for "LAVERDA"  "SFC 1000" and "MIRAGE" decals. The letters are there to make "RGS 1000". just a bit of cutting and pasting. I can send you a PDF or (?) file if you like.

Hi Dennis,
Do you still have the pdf files for the Laverda and Mirage? I am in the process of repainting my 77 1200 ...back to candy apple red. I already have the orange tank stickers ...made by a place in Toowoomba Qld. Cheers Mikr
