Kawasaki Street and Highway Decals

Reproduction decal sets for the classic Kawasaki road bikes. H1 500, H2 750, S1, S2, S3, KH 250, KH 400, KH 500 — the street-going two-strokes from the 1970s into the early 1980s. Each set is checked against original factory reference material before it leaves the workshop.

The road bikes in the range

The street and highway line covers the air-cooled two-stroke triples and the later KH reed-valve models — the bikes that defined Kawasaki on the road from the early 1970s through to the end of the two-stroke era.

Sets in the range:

• H1 500 series — the original triple, 1969 onwards. Several colour and model-year variants in the catalogue.
• H2 750 — produced 1972 to 1975. One of the most recognised decal faces in the classic scene. The H2 left the factory with a very specific graphic that doesn't forgive approximation.
• S1, S2, S3 — the 250, 350, and 400 triples. Different colour schemes year on year; the set needs to match the specific model year, not just the model.
• KH 250, KH 400, KH 500 — the reed-valve generation. Different frame, different graphic language. Sets cross-referenced to factory specification.

Fifty-four sets in the catalogue across the full range. If you're not sure which set fits your year, send us the model and year — we'll point you at the exact one.

Kawasaki green — which one?

Kawasaki didn't use one green. The H1 ran Candy Apple Green through its production run; the H2 used Candytone variants that shifted between 1972 and 1975. The S-series and KH-series each had their own colour schedules. We check against factory reference for each model and year before printing. If you're not sure which variant your bike should have, tell us the VIN or the year — we'll confirm.

Are these official Kawasaki decals?

We're an approved Kawasaki supplier. That means the sets on this page are made with reference to original factory artwork, not traced from photos or estimated from surviving examples. The approval is the licence — you're not buying a copy of a copy. If you're asked at a show, you can say where they came from.

What the decals are made from

We print on gloss self-adhesive polymeric vinyl — white permanent adhesive, low initial tack, solvent inks from a Roland TRUEVIS large-format machine. Waterproof. The print method is the same across every set in the range.

Once the decal is on the tank, the usual recommendation is a 2K clear coat — it protects against petrol, UV, and the general wear that any road bike picks up. We include a free printed sample with every order so you can test your clear coat for compatibility before applying it to the real decal. Some coats react with solvent ink. The sample lets you find that out on the test piece, not the finished tank.

Can you clear coat over vinyl decals?

Yes — but test compatibility first. We include a free printed sample with every order. Run your clear coat on the sample before you apply it to the full set. Some coatings react with polymeric vinyl; the sample tells you before it matters. If you're spraying a show bike or a full restoration, the sample is the step you don't skip.

Why the decal has to be right

The H2 decal in particular is the kind of detail that judges and buyers notice before they notice anything else. The typeface weight, the colour values, the gloss level against the paint — these don't have tolerances. If the decal is wrong at a show, people see it.

We don't use universal templates. Each set is reproduced from the factory specification for that model and year. The S2 350 has a different graphic to the S3 400 has a different graphic to the KH 400 — those differences exist in the range.

Don't see your set listed?

If we haven't got your exact model and year, send us a message. We'll quote a custom set against your reference, or let you know when it's added to the range. We don't carry filler listings — if it's on the site, it's been made properly.
