I have used BD Designs out of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada to do my 78 Ltd, and I can vouch that Brian is a professional restorer and I highly recommend his work , I had to provide him with proof of ownership before he even started and he made me take numerous photographs of the original decal from various angles as the sticker is attached to a round cylinder, all I can say to you guys if you are serious about what you are restoring, you are not going to find anyone better than Brian,, you cannot tell which one is original and which one is reproduction.,
I have a 1980 Kawasaki KZ750 Ltd. I bought new. I recently managed to get it out of my garage after 28 years and put it on the road again (2010). I feel like a kid all over again. Since I have acquired 3 78 KZ1000 Ltd, 1 1981 KZ1000 Ltd, and another 1980 KZ750 Ltd. Love the LTD's.

PM me your email address. I need your frame number and date of manufacture. I only have that data for Z1's.

Mopguy, I'll put my decals up against any other. I made templates from original labels, not distorted photos. I also spent the time to enlarge each letter from original labels to create the exact font used.

The pic with the post-it is mine, the other one is some poor attempt at a repro.

I searched the site, with no luck, regarding perhaps if you all know someone who has/does/able to reproduce the safety stickers located under the seat on the plastic inner fender part? Most of my stickers are in tact, but one has a scratch rip through the center of it. Thank you for any info.

Kidkawie – your sticker looks like the original, the other does not. In particular, the VIN and date on your sticker look the same as they appear on the original label. I’m sure you put a lot of effort into getting the label to look just like the original – and it shows! Very nice indeed! Ed

Hi,

I would like to order a replacement VIN label for a 1973 Z-1 Kawasaki, I'm in Long Beach California. My e-mail is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Phone is 310-923-3407. 

Besides the photo of the old one, what do they cost and what do you need from me to proceed. Do you take PayPal or credit card payment?

Regards, Jack Landers,
