Koga Miyata Pro-Racer (1978)

Description

Koga Miyata Pro-Racer Decal Set – Frame Sticker Kit (1978)

Alongside the Pro-Luxe, the Pro-Racer stood at the very top of Koga-Miyata’s 1978 lineup — a Tange Champion double-butted chrome-molybdenum main frame paired with Miyata Hi-Manga forged fork tubing, built for riders running Dura-Ace and racing seriously, not just riding well. This set reproduces the complete 1978 factory decal sheet, gold-on-black script and all, including the mirrored down tube pairs most reproductions get wrong. If you’re restoring an original 1978 Pro-Racer frame, this is exactly what left the factory on it.

What’s included

Koga-Miyata script down tube decals (x2, mirrored pair), Miyata script decals (x2, mirrored pair), Pro-Racer script decals in two sizes (x4 total), Professional script decals (x2), Miyata hexagonal head badge, Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. lifetime guarantee badge, Miyata Hi-Manga Special Steel Manganese Complete Fork badges (x2), Tange Champion Chrome Molybdenum Double Butted Tube frame badge, Miyata Industry Co. Ltd. “Since 1880” pinstriped side decals (x2), and gold-and-black pinstripe accent strips (x3).

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 Pro-Racer’s mixed tubeset — Tange Champion frame, Hi-Manga fork — is exactly why the badge placement matters this much on a correct restoration; get it wrong and a knowledgeable buyer will spot it immediately. 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 1978.
