R egarding my KZ750 LTD tank decal inquiry a week or so ago . Seems impossible to find original decals or any Decal shop that does them . Now resigned to try my hand at replicating them meself .
SO.... THIS IS WOT I NEEDZ ........if anyone still has an original decalled tank for 80-81 KZ750 LTD (ebony black double gold striped ) could please give width and spacing sizes of the gold double bands (mm's or inch fractions is good ).
Wetting meself in eager anticipation here . cheers guys (n guyesses)

That's an easy patter to replicate with pinstripe tape. 3M brand is very good. The stripes come in various sizes including 1/16", 1/18", 3/16", 1/4" widths. Pick your poison. www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-pr...85+3291754014&rt=rud

Here is a photo of another tank I did (photos in your other thread of my KZ.) This one is a GS550 tank. The stripes may be the wrong width for your use but think you get the idea. Each stripe was a separate part. Each roll contains 40' of tape so you got lots of extra to practice.
