"Badge" emblems

I've seen some good-looking decals for the sides of a Police 1000, which are shaped like a 7-pointed police badge, but they read, "Kawasaki Police 1000". Does anyone know where I can get a set? Thanks.

I forgot: these are decals for the sides of the gas tank (not the emblems for the side covers).

Where I live, it is illegal to mark your vehicle with "police"....you should check your local laws.

Okay . . .

I wouldn't think I'd have to explain, but here goes:

When this bike was decommissioned (from police service), all emblems from the police agency using it were removed. Yet the side covers each have a decal that reads, "Kawasaki Police 1000", and those decals include an emblem that looks like a shield-shaped police badge. .As I see it, this is sort of like buying a used Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor: even when the police agency identification is removed, the car will still have a badge on it that reads, "Police Interceptor". No, I'm not looking for a decal that says, "Police". That would be silly. That would be illegal. I'm looking for a decal that says, "Kawasaki Police 1000", just like the side covers do. I've seen them on other Kawasaki Police 1000 motorcycles that were retired from police service and being used by civilians (like me).

So, does anyone else have any ideas where I might find such a decal?

Here they take off anything that has the word "Police" on the exterior of the vehicle....

It is illegal here to have any markings 8Decals, badges, emblems, etc...) that could be mistaken as being an emergency vehicle - right down to the use of lights of certain colors in certain locations - blue, red, flashing lights, spot lights, etc...

You might want to ask RLB454 where he got his.

I've seen those, but there is another style out there. You can see it on a KZ Police listed on eBay, item number 131924335011. The difference between the two emblems is subtle, but I prefer the one on the eBay bike. I've sent a message to the guy selling the bike on eBay, but haven't yet received a reply.

rstnick: I have those emblems on my side covers; they're not the ones I'm looking for, but thanks for offering to help. The guy with the bike on eBay says that these are factory stickers (I don't know about that), so he doesn't know how to get them. I guess I'll do without. But again, thanks to everyone.

Ok.
A buddy has a Police model, and has those decals on his side covers too.

Where'd you get that seat? Did it fit right off the bat?
