    Need advice on the "showa" decal folks

    Hi folks, trying to get a complete kit made here for the white and black tri-z's.

    I found three old tri-z's in my pop's barn of vintage machines today. There is a decal on the front LEFT fork that has all kinds of writing on it and is rectangular in shape. It is on a yellow tri-z. Is this the SHOWA decal?

    Ill check back in 30 min. hopeuflly someone can answer this one quickly...

    thanks in advance!

    I am not 100% sure, but I think the Showa Decals were the same on all 3 models. I know my 86 had one, but I didnt study it that well, and it ended up getting stripped off during the restore.

    Also, can anyone verify if the choke settings were the same between the 86 (on the headlight) and the 85, and 851/2s (on the airbox cover)

    okay thanks

    I guess both the decals on the headlight are the same size, as I have the shifting pattern decal already, so i really just need the energy induction decal dimension
