[suts89]

Hi, been lurking around the site for a bit now (10Hrs + 20Mins ) thought i would post my first attempt at a NOS build.

Hope yous like it

Me second attempt is well on its way (Mongoose Cali) just looking for some help in applying the decals , i,m in South Shields if anyone fancies it

Nice and fresh. Well done mate. You will have the 'bug' now!

Very nice 1st build, I really like that.

As for the decals, if you are really worried use the water and fairy liquid trick, I personally use masking tape to tape off the area I want the decal that way I have a template to use.

I actually completed that about 2 summers ago; the bug seemed to go into remission for a while but its back again with vengeance .
I’ve gotta Cali which is almost done and a Silver Streak to start.

nice honest build.

Explain the water and fairy liquid trick?  Nice build there

You wet the frame with mild soapy water so the decal will slide into place....search in resto there's a thread or 5 in there

[suts89]

I assume it eventually sticks even with the soapy water beneath it?

Very tidy Haro, especially good for a first build and component choice couldn't be much better

nice build!decals,bloody mare!! put me new decals on  me kz1 the other day,shat me pants!!got em on straight tho!!!do a dry run with the backing stilll on and view from the front with the bike dead  centre  to your vision that way you can see if the main frame decal is 50-50 both sides if you hold it there and then get yourself back around the side of the bike,that way you will see where the bottom of the decal needs to be(hope im making sense)and it wont be all over to one side!!would come and help if i lived near ya,i needs the practice!!good luck!

Yeah..minimal liquid just to make it slippy and it all evaporates

  Very Nice Bike ...good work fella .....i did my decals on my haro with soapy water method ..it sounds like its more trouble than its worth but it makes it so much easier to line them up just right ...
