If you really struggle if you can find a image of the bike on the web you could get a graphics shop to maybe make up a set of replica stickers - i did that years ago for a Nishiki Alien and it worked out cheaper

I worked at a Sign design agency that was very capable to provide sticker sets.
Unfortunately this means I cannot help you personally but I am sure what martin suggested is a good way. Be sure to show up prepared if you go to a busy sign company for the stickers. It was very easy to neglect these small jobs for those who came in wanting such done. Provide a well lit high resolution image on compact disc preferably flat (not on the bike), Provide a note with the CD telling quantity and size for all the logos it contains.  They will probably give you a reasonable price if they see everything is organized and ready to print.
It is sometimes possible to print on clear vinyl depending on the machine they are using. Clear vinyl will provide a professional stock look.
If you ask for an uncut version they might give it to you for even less but you will be responsible for cutting it yourself.
Good luck.

the above link should take you to a site with a k2 zed for sale, you maybe able to blow up the image large enough to give a graphic designer a rough idea of the style of font for the decals.

Or contact the above shop and ask if they have any spare stickers or a brochure you could scan for the images

I can't do it myself. You will need to grab all the logos yourself and bring them to someone who can make them for you. Try the local bike shops to see if they have one to take pictures of. The images that you linked are to small.  Usually graphic design shops are busy with corporate work  and do not waste any of their time on small projects like yours. You will need to turn on the charm if they are to recreate those logos for you.

Worked? WorkED? What's with the suffixed "ED" on the end of that? What happened? How did your move go? Start spillin the beans man!!!

Oh, many apologies to tshzg for the partial hi-jack, but it is sticker related. Kinda sorta. :-[

Well. I left because I just didn't feel fulfilled. It was a job I kept throughout college and then further past my graduation. Since I am now back on the job market. I can now exercise my freedom by traveling to job hot spots around the country. I recently flew to Prince Edward Island to attend a job fair. After returning empty handed I established a web site to display my portfolio.
I am leaving for Montréal by train this coming monday I am going to see what I can find there. I am also spending some of that time at the Montreal International Gaming Summit. There will be plenty of industry reps. I may even bother them for info on their company's employment needs.

So you could say I pulled up my roots to test new soil.
I plan to reach Calgary and Vancouver, Oh yeah even Toronto when my option run dry.

I am not totally done yet. Learning Flash and HTML code in the process is making for a slow work.
