Tank/side panel decal positioning

Forums

Hi, Does anyone have any factory dimensions for positioning the 'Norton' and '750 Commando' decals on tank and side panels...or is it just a case of gauging the position from photos?

Cheers, Len

Just aerosol sprayed my Black Gold Mk3 Interstate side panels minus E start script. Position to my own preference, slightly above centre and roughly equal front and rear, parallel to Z plate

Tank to do next, current Norton logo position looks fine, align with side panels so they all look to be on the same plane with everything in place on the bike.

Roadster side panels look awful with the lettering pointing upwards totally out of line with the tank bottom as per attached pic

Thanks Neill,

Shouldn't the side panel decals be parallel with the bottom of the side panel rather than the top?

Cheers, Len

Place side panels on bike, set decals so they are parallel to ground. Trick is to create a template prior to removing the old decal and repainting.

Thanks Guys - really helpful.

I should've perhaps mentioned that mine is a 750 Roadster registered '73.

One is never sure whether the photos on line are original - there is huge variation and some look wrong.

However, I have found a photo which 'looks right' and that is what I will use if all else fails but I'm sure there must've been some process sheet or template/tool (and therefore drawing) to position these during production - I can't believe it was discretionary.

Thanks again chaps.
