They are the 2002 OEM tank and shroud decals. I've scoured the internet, contacted countless parts houses local and abroad, and no one has any NOS. It looked like Factory Effex had them at one time but no longer.
Was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions before I get out CorelDraw and try to recreate them.
Thanks!

It took me nearly 4 years of scouring e-bay on a daily basis to find some OEM tank/shroud decals for my bike...they're out there...it all depends on how patient and determined you are, to wait for that one person to decide they no longer want/need em laying on their shelf.
Or, you can cantact Frank over at EVO. I've had him create a couple sets of aftermarket OEM style tank/shroud graphics and swingarm logo's. He does awesome work..it's a little pricey shipping wise, as he's in the UK, but it fast shipping, and the quality is amazing.
Take a look around his site.

With all the searching for decals I did, don't know how I missed evo-mx.com. They had a 2002 OEM replica decal set which I ordered. Looking at them (tank & shrouds) up close vs. OEM and they appear dead on. And the whole kit being 1/4 the price of OEM, when I fall and scratch them up, I won't cringe as much.
Thanks for the suggestion. Just what I was looking for!
