Thruxton or other style gas tank stripe or decal on Bonneville ?

Has anyone found a single center or multiple side scallops stripe or stripes in decal form for the Bonneville gas tanks.
I can't afford the $ or time to have my tank painted or re-cleared over a stripe (like the stock Thruxton one requires).
Are there any cool or retro type decals out there that are a peel & stick type affair ?
I have a GoodWood Green & would like some kind of a white retro-cool-fast decal.

Any links or pictures ?

Thanks for your help !

Take a look on Bike Bandit.

Fuel tank and fittings, item 26 $20.02
I believe it is the checkered decal. At least that is what I got when I ordered it. It is exactly the same as the one on my tank. My plan is to paint my front fender yellow and place that sticker on it before clear coat to care the checkers from the fender to the seat cowl. If you need the seat cowl sticker check out item 8 under Seat at $14.14.
I believe the scallops on the T100s are hand painted, so no luck there for any stickers. At least according to my brief search.
Hope this helps.

Hey Brian,
Thanks for the info. The only downside is the "Thruxton" Script on the decal. Mine's a Bonneville (I wanted a Thruxton but my neck/arms/back were against me) so it's gotta be plain etc.

Hopefully someone will come up with something for guys like me with the boring single color tanks.

Thanks again !
