Koga Miyata Gent’s Luxe-S (1979)

Description

Koga Miyata Gent’s Luxe-S Decal Set – Frame Sticker Kit (1979)

The Gent’s Luxe-S carried the “S” designation shared with that year’s Gent’s Racer-S — the 1979 refresh’s round “Koga Miyata Handmade” gear badge and Professional script identity applied to Koga-Miyata’s classic Luxe-tier model. Built with Hi-Manga special steel tubing, this set reproduces the complete 1979 factory decal sheet, script logos and all, including the mirrored down tube pairs most reproductions get wrong. If you’re restoring an original 1979 Gent’s Luxe-S frame, this is exactly what left the factory on it.

What’s included

Miyata script decals (x2), Koga-Miyata script down tube decals (x2), Gent’s-Luxe-S model script decals (x2), Professional script decals (x2), Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. lifetime guarantee badge, Koga Miyata round “Handmade” gear badge, Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. pinstriped pictogram side decals marked “Since 1890” (x2), Hi-Manga Special Steel Manganese Complete Fork badges (x2), and Hi-Manga Special Steel Manganese Double Butted Tube badge.

Materials & specs

High-grade self-adhesive vinyl, UV-resistant and waterproof

Die-cut by plotter for precision fitment

Stretchable material — conforms to tube shapes without creasing

Transfer layer included for clean, bubble-free application

Repositionable within the first few seconds after application — take your time to align before pressing firmly

Long-term adhesion is strong but decals can be removed cleanly with heat (heat gun or hairdryer) without damaging paint

Installation

Clean all surfaces thoroughly before applying. Remove any old decals completely — never layer over existing stickers as it affects adhesion and final appearance. Allow freshly painted or lacquered surfaces to cure for a minimum of 3 weeks before applying.

Built for restoration, not just decoration

The Luxe-S carried the 1979 identity shift into Koga-Miyata’s classic Luxe tier — the round Handmade badge and Professional script marking a clear break from the earlier hexagonal-badge era. Every logo, badge, and pinstripe here is placed to match the original factory sheet, mirrored pairs included. Get this on the frame and it reads exactly as it did rolling out of the Koga-Miyata works in 1979.
