Just for info, The Kat I'm riding is a production spec bike, the bottom one is Wes cooley (ex AMA superbike champion) back in around 1981 on the full blown Yoshi superbike. Love the similarities in the pictures 32 years apart 8)

Sumfink like this - just find a local printers able to handle large sizes

Larger Format Posters- High Quality 841 x 1188mm - A0 - £36.75 (+VAT)

Then I can produce the PDF to the required size for for print. The image i've produced is from the original hi-res pic on photobucket and still scaled up with more to go!

Have a look at the guys on ebay doing printing. As an example, I got a couple of colour ones of the "CBX Special" printed off, one at Staples (around the 3ft by 2ft size)and another off ebay. Staples was around £18, the ebay one came out at £5.99 delivered. Couldn`t fault the quality of either. All you need is a good hi res Jpeg image for them to work from. Unfortunately, can`t find the guy I used on ebay as it was a couple of years ago. :thumbup:

The EFE went to a new home about 3 years ago, it lives in Kent now and is being well loved and looked after by owner. I miss it but I hardly rode it the last couple of years I had it, just enjoyed looking at it every day in my workshop.
