    Need help from 1982 ATC 70 owners

    I'm working on a new project 1982 atc 70 and the rear decal was missing. Wondering what the correct rear fender decal looked like as I've seen at least 4 different designs listed online for an 82. Am hoping to get input from someone who has purchased one brand new or has an all original unrestored 82.

    My identification manual says the changes for 82 was the fuel tank stripe is light blue and dark blue, "70" is white. I suspect the rear fender detail has the same design. Year before says tank stripe is blue and white and "70" is blue. I looked at the link above and it seems to match up.

    Looking at the part diagram, looks like the rear detail does not say anything extra except ATC on the left, and 70 on the right. I don't see anything in the drawing that shows the "4 Speed" should even be on it at all.


    https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/ho...-a/rear-fender

    Here's what my identification manual says per year, it always focuses on the tank decals but from what I've seen in pics it looks like the rear should match too.

    1973 - Flame decal is red-orange-yellow
    1974 - Stripe is yellow and black
    1978 - Honda logo is white with gold and black outline
    1979 - Honda logo is red with white and black outline
    1980 - Honda logo is yellow, stripe is gray, yellow, black
    1981 - 70 logo is blue, stripe is blue and white
    1982 - 70 is white, stripe is light blue, dark blue
    1983 - stripe is white, light blue, dark blue (I see in the photo the 70 logo was dropped)
    1984 - stripe is light blue and dark blue (kind of a V shaped stripe)
    1985 - stripe is light blue and dark blue (more vertical stripe) - This year is the only year with 70 on the seat and is blue instead of black

    This is the correct looking 82 tank decal, not what you need but might be a good reference point.

    Would be neat to get correct OEM pics of the stickers for each year. I could throw them up on my site for a year identification page.

    Did some digging and found this listing, I suspect this *should* be the stock sticker, it's not brand new and clearly old/stock fenders so low chances it's a replaced sticker. Last pic shows the sticker pretty well, it does have the 4 speed on it in yellow. ATC left, 70 right.

    Here's a reproduction sticker for a better view.

    Thanks, I've narrowed it down to these 2 designs (both listed as 82). Anyone know which one is correct for certain?Click image for larger version.

    One with the red stripe and the ATC 70 in the center I'm pretty sure is 1985, the other with the white line around the label is 1982 (just like the tank decal).

    Bruce's decal for sure. Compare it to Shortline10's post #6.
