Decals pattern/stencil

I did a google search of this site for Decals and Stickers already and did not come up with much useful for this question.  Buttt... it is likely I missed it so if anyone has a thread(s)/post(s) to suggest please do so.

What Im looking for is pattern/Stencil  of the Tiger Steamer decals.  Or an existing decal not yet applied I or someone can scan into a vector to make a stencil out of. 

I am most likely going to use something like "Dip my Car"  paint method  on the bike.  This way I can experiment with paint schemes or cover potential road rash easy after any misshaps that might happen as I get use to the bike. Mind you though  I will do ALL I CAN to make sure it is dip-peeled, re-dipped and lettered  only cause I want to experiment with the look and not cause of a mishap.  Either way though it could end up needing new decals more than once... Sooooooo  I think I would be better off to have made or make a stencil for each color of the TIGER on the tank and the other Decals...  Might modify some of the others anyway once I get the font down.  ( "Diesel Only" and Tribota instead of "Triumph"  or "Triumph-Powered by Kubota".  Either in the same/similar font  as "Triumph" for example)

I expect to have the bike on the road in Sept. or Oct.

Will update the build thread with fabrication going on recent.  We've made a lot of progress and build is clipping along somewhat steady now.

Question though is does the real decal have any curvature to match the tank designed in it.   Does it read like the picture when on the tank but look distorted when laid flat as a flat decal.    Extreme example would be a decal of the Globe would look distorted flat but just right after applied on the right size sphere.

No, it's fine. Stop obsessing and get on with getting this stone crusher running  :wheel
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

The letters are all seperate, so no curvature needed, they fit just fine.

Bartered a second Tiger to my friend Curtis to build my Diesel Tiger back when I lived in  TX; then had to move to find steady employment. Thus Im relegated to the obsessing role here in OH :BangHead  Buttt..... It's worth it cause Curtis's skills are par none.

Curtis is going to Dieselize his too so he is making two of everything as he builds mine. The second will go on his.
