    Looking for an original air cleaner lid with decal. This is the only engine decal that is not original on my GSX.

    Thanks Zach

    Hi Zach!
    Happy New Year!
    I have a “new or embossed(correct word? Raised lettering & number)
    STAGE 1 air cleaner decal.

    Most likely a high quality reproduction but you just never know with me! Lol

    Anyhow, I can get pics tomorrow and if it is acceptable it would be my honor to send it to you, Sir.

    Kindest Regards,

    Fritzenshiftin

    Thank you so much Fritzenshiftin but that is what I have on there now. Looks way to new compared to the GS455 decal. Looking for a used one with patina. Hopefully we will finally met face to face it BG this year buddy. A friend traded me his chrome lid for my black lid years ago. I got the original lid back but he had flipped it over when he used it. So much for the decal. LOL

    Jonn I may be able to trade just a basic black lid for an original one in rough condition with another board (thanks Steve covington) member. Hoping I can clean/repaint it and save the original decal. Please let me know what you have. He said the one posted would work for him.

    well. Heck. Guess I should jump in here. I have several original STAGE 1 air cleaners, and IIRC, one may even have an original decal...
    Lemme check my stash this weekend.

    I'll keep it in mind. Thank you very much for checking. The one I have been offered is in better shape. I just need to find a basic cover to exchange. Thanks again wheels.
