Koga Miyata Gent’s Racer-S (1980)

Description

Koga Miyata Gent’s Racer-S Decal Set – Frame Sticker Kit (1980)

The 1980 Gent’s Racer-S picked up the same tubeset upgrade as its Luxe-S stablemate that year — a Tange Champion double-butted main frame paired with a Miyata Hi-Manga fork, a step up from the straight Hi-Manga build the model ran in 1979. This set reproduces the complete 1980 factory decal sheet, gold script and all, including the mirrored down tube pairs most reproductions get wrong. If you’re restoring an original 1980 Gent’s Racer-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), Gentsracer-S model script decals (x2), Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. lifetime guarantee badge, Koga Miyata round “Handmade” gear badge, Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. pinstriped side decals (x2), Miyata Hi-Manga Special Steel Manganese Complete Fork badges (x2), and Tange Champion Chrome Molybdenum 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

Like the Luxe-S, the Racer-S carries a Tange Champion frame badge for 1980 that its 1979 predecessor never had — the kind of detail that separates an accurate restoration from a close guess. 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 1980.
