I just became the most recent owner of a Torque Engineering pipe. Of coarse the plan is to blast & spray. But I would like to replace the decals on the pipe guards. Did several searches & came up empty.

Does any one know of reproduction decals for these pipes? Or can some one point me in the direction of some one that reproduce these decals? What really throws me about these decals are that they are an aluminum foil type decal. I assume because of the heat.

Any and all leads will be greatly appreciated.

You might try one of the shops that do vehicle wraps if you have one nearby.
They can reproduce just about any font and have a wide variety of media material available.

He made custom reproduction labels for my TS400 (foil type) from the photos and dimensions I sent him and the quality was AWESOME! Highly recommended!

They don't look too difficult to replicate the artwork.
You say they are foil backed decals?
I'll need some better photos and measurements to scale the image from.
What the Torque logo look like up close? That might be the tricky part.

Do you have a scanner?
If so could you remove the heat shield and scan each one in high resolution?

Here is a photo of the Torque script, I have a buddy that has a NOS pipe with the label I'm posting here
I can get a higher resolution scan if needed, but it's a couple hundred miles away from where I live.

I tried the scanner. Because of the curvature of the shields the image came out fuzzy.

This is the best I can do. Want me to send you the raw files? Your addy?







Sizes:
Blue Torque
5/8" wide
5 3/8" long
Torque letters are approx 5/16" tall
Approx. 1/8" border top & bottom

Red Torque Yamaha (could be orange...faded, i assume that it was red)
3/4" Tall
3 1/2" long
YAMAHA is 3/8" tall

The red yamaha decal is too tall. Resize to same as the blue Torque decal.

You're welcome pubcrawl! Just know that it's easy to recommend someone who takes the kind of care and produces the quality of product you did for me! :Buds

The blue Torque decal Ctune posted is the one I've seen a lot more often... I have one on a NOS pipe but it's also curved so I won't be able to get a good scan. I want to remove it anyway. I will try to take some good pictures of it first. If I can get it off in one piece I will scan it or mail it to you so you can add it to your library of decals and might help help with making the logo for Whymee's project.
