RCV Wing Decals?

Hey all, got another question for you. I'm working on painting my VTR in House of Kolor Tangelo Orange. But I think with just orange it might not be great, so I want to add in some black accents somewhere. My idea was either the repsol wings on the tank, or the RCV style wings that extend from the fairings with the tip of one wing on the tank.
The repsol wings I was able to find, I've seen a few different superhawks with these fit, so I think they would work.

My only concern with those wing decals is that they would be too short since the CBR has the large plastic section below the tank.

But the RCV wings, I have not been able to find. I'm guessing there is a different name, does anyone have a source for these?
I'm thinking something similar to this style of wings, I know this bike was from a member here, but he hasn't been active in years:

Come up with something you want and go visit a sign shop, they can make almost anything and it would be cheaper than buying something pre-done pre-cut.

I did a half-assed photoshop of what I wanted and showed it to a guy who isn't even a pro, and he got back to me with my wings and installed them for less than 125 bucks.

Paint them yourself with plastidip! You can always peel them off if you don't like. that is what I did.

Certain gratification for doing work yourself.

Call Tapeworks and tell them what you want. They'll change colors or customize it for you.



In fact, I ordered those number plates just now.

I'm painting the whole bike with House of Kolor, the last thing I will do is put plastidip on it, haha.

I ended up buying the set of tank wings in the first post. I want them below the clear coat, so now is the only chance to put them on.

You're a woman, aren't you? I didn't realize that without digging into your profile.

"Should I wear the red dress, or the black dress?" And then she picks the other one, or a third color that wasn't even mentioned...

No, it's been two weeks since I made the thread. I waited for replies, got none, and ordered my paint and decals I could find, and am halfway done painting now. So like I said, too late.
