I'll probably get beat down for this but here goes... With all the talk about copyrights lately I have to ask.. Two of my buddies and i are into old Honda ATC70's as hobbyists we build them,collect them, supe them up, and part them out on ebay. These are the little tiny 3 wheelers Honda made back in the 70's and 80's for kids until the federal government put a stop to that..We don't sell them to kids but mainly big kids like us.. We have one with a 192cc monster of an engine.. So consiquently with the downturn in the economy we have had a lot more time to play with our toys... Toy's yes, but money makers also...just the other day we sold one at the tune of $5,000 to a fellow in Oregon who also ordered two more.. And have a couple folks in Abu Dhabai wanting us to ship two that way... These are big with folks my age (30yrs- 50yrs) maybe because we tend to go back in time as we get older... just keep in mind the next generation at the car shows spinning the 50's oldies music 
Last year I purchased a Gerber Edge2 since nobody was striping cars I had time on my hands in the winter... one of the things i did was replicate all the decals for these little bikes be build from the 73 model up to the last in 85...to supply our builds, and as luck would have if people started asking for these also.. Honda has not made these decals for decades... Before i got my Edge we were buying decal kits from numerous vendors out there.. Google honda reproduction decals and you can pull up hundred or more .. Now I'm not saying that makes it right... But i have spent days searching contact information for Honda to find out if one can get consent or permission to replicate these if possible .
So I have replicated these vintage designs and have a well respected following for doing so in the ATC70 community.. But again the last thing I need is Honda beating at my door.. So here's the big question before I get beat down.. How and who do I contact to try and get permission?... I have an old school mate that works for Honda distrubution in Torrance Ca. I have emailed her as a last ditch attempt to get directed to the proper channel....It's obvious the others out there must either big criminals or filling a void that needs to be filled.. as for me I only care about the ATC70 line of decals.. So give me a minute to get my body armor on before the beating.. http://www.reproductiondecals.com/default_frameset.html? http://www.atcheaven.com/Decals_70.php http://www.z1enterprises.com/catalog.aspx?pid=MFRD0 http://www.coolretrobikes.com/hondaemblems.htm http://www.topiccraze.com/topic?topic=hondamotorcycles http://www.re-mx.com/qa50/qa50_parts.php http://hondaminitrail.com/z50.html http://www.classiccyclerestoration.com/Honda_Decals.html
