from what i have experianced its like a crap shoot,some decale are great some not so great,the problem is you dont know till you try em,i do think the old original were more consistenly better,i have made some of my own,get clear decal sheet fromthe hobby shop,take your sheet and a pic or art work to office max or someplace with a lazer printer,they can copy an size you art work and then transfer it onto the clear decal sheet,if youwant durability your paint and decls,spray with clearcoat that has uv protection,thats why the older bikes with "glamour" colors faded so bad if exposed to sun very long
