Reaching out to anyone with 78 KZ1000 to take some measurements for decal placement, possibly front of tank to decal and bottom of tank. Greatly appreciated.

From the leading edge of the fuel tap to the forward measurement is 30 cm
The forward measurement up from the crease to the stripe is 35 mm
The the back measurement by the tap is from the crease to the stripe 25mm
The measurement even with bottom of the Kawasaki emblem from the crease to the stripe 54 mm
At the back of the tank were the 2 strips come together (in the crease) 22 mm between the stripes.
Good luck

Either they need the tank, or the tank needs them. They are lonely without the matching tank. That's why I mentioned them to M........'Vroom-vroom'!
