Tank decals

I would like to replace the tank decals on my bike because they are pretty beat up. I ordered some but the hole pattern on them were different than mine. Do I have the original tank? Any ideas?

Well, since we cannot see the decals, nor the tank, nor do we know what make or model of motorcycle you have, I dunno.

 Sorry about that…..Attached are the pictures. It seems like maybe it’s a different tank but I’m not sure. Btw these are decals I ordered but look exactly like the ones that were on the bike. I just drilled new holes because the ones that were on it looked bad. 1979 kz1000 LTD.

Those aren't "decals", they are tank emblems.

The emblem’s you have are for the larger Z1/KZ tank, the LTD tank has smaller emblems and the distance between the screw holes are different.

Where could I find ones that just screw in without drilling new holes?

There are some on eBay.  NOT cheap, though.

I have a pair I removed from a bike like yours they are used and need the white lettering repainted.

Can you post a pic of your old emblems?

They look exactly like the ones on it. Except older looking plus dinged up a bit.
