Default Where Can I Find Factory Decals/Lettering For F4i?

one side of my fairings got a bit scuffed recently and I wanted to remove the stock/factory lettering, touch up the scuffs and then add new decals on it. I cant seem to find the stock f4i letter and I guess what people call the "wing decal thats right above the f4i. I checked on www.tapeworks.com but they only have custom kits.

Heres a pic of my bike so you know what im talking about. I made arrows to point out.

thanks guys,

I don't know about replicals (replica?) but the bike bandit decals seem OEM. I bought the silver CBR for the upper fairing and if I remember right it was right from Honda. Higher price for OEM\better quality, IMO.

yup. a heat gun will help with the removal of the old. i prefer acrysol to take off any leftover adhesive.

Ok, I could barely see the scuffs in the picture, and if you saw my bike you'd cry.

^That's a sweet bike regener8ed btw

Anyone have dealers that are willing to match bikebandit on fairing prices? My dealer wants 500+ for a lower cowl, and bike bandit has it for like 420 I think.

mmph, seems like all the f4i's have that same scuff. the PO of my f4i knocked it over in the driveway - exact same result. i took it as an opportunity to change the graphics entirely.
