    You can get them over here ( im in the england too) On ebay Yamatopdog has some 85+86 sticker sets. It takes some searching but all the stuff can be had over here and if not you can get it sent over from the US

    I would say, try to get a aftermarket DG silencer. Even a Dial a jet just to help jetting and performance in the future.

    Then maybe a new front tire, and get the sticker kit to make her look nice. Just to start of with!
