Have a nice H2B which was restored several years ago and has professionally repainted frame, tank, tail and sidecovers but I need all the various decals for the frame and under the seat to complete the job and I need the VIN decal for the steering head. RB has it but Reproduction Decals said they can't supply that one. Do I get the VIN decal from RB and the others from Reproduction Decal or just get everything from RB. I am really new to the triple hobby with a lot to learn but already I am seeing lots of good things written about RB.

Thanks, Rusty34

The repro decals are nice BUT RB's are the most accurate. If it were me, I'd just buy them all from RB.

It has been written that much of what Rick created has been copied by others
Kind of like a 2nd generation photograph; not as good as the original

Not saying this applies to anyone in particular (although RB might have some feelings on this)

ummm lets see I have Ricks's but repro decals are good people too and it seems they have duplicated early h1 gauges and early h2 hand controls.

Rick also mentions some of that in his ebay descriptions. I don't think I want to help support a copycat so I'll just call RB and get the right stuff. Thanks for the info!
