Decals for intruder 125

I've done a very quick search online and haven't had much luck.

When I bought my intruder 125 there was a small scuff and dent on the fuel tank, it just so happens to be right on top of the intruder sticker. I figured I would get it looking good for the warmer weather coming in. Before I do anything I want to find stickers to replace the damaged one (or a badge which a friend's brother allegedly has on his). Should I just forget about the symbol and paint the tank and leave the whole bike sticker free? or is there somewhere to get the replacement decal kits?

One thing i'd think about is that your one day likely going to want to trade up for a bigger engine and most people who buy 125's may be younger/newer to biking (generalising here i know) who may look at a painted tank and be turned off in case its been damaged or dropped hence not being standard etc.

From a resale point of view i'd look to replace with an intruder sticker rather than painting the tank.

Although your right it would be better than a dented one.

no luck on ebay?

I've seen a few suzuki dealerships with intruder decals in them (believe the bike hut in Daventry does). Might be best bet.

Paint the tank standard colours and it will look better and improve resale value.

Decals you can get from the Dealer.

So many people ask this question and none of them seem to consider the main dealer it shouldn't be too much for the decal. First things first though if you want it done properly go to a paint shop and get a quote to respray the tank, £100 would be reasonable IMO. Then get the decals from Suzuki. If you are getting the tank spray you will need bother sides.

If it is just the Suzuki name on the side of you bike I would be surprised if it cost more than £15 per side. You could get after market ones but it wouldn't look as good.
