I don't know could you take it to a sign or decal maker people like that should be able to tell you. That is the best I can do.

Yes.  And was told they can recreate it as vector art, but for $$.

If it was just a stock font, they could/would just be able to cut what I need.

I love the web: http://goo.gl/dQrRW

Romana Bold is not a perfect match but it's pretty darn close.  A little tweaking should make it passable.

 If you're wanting new decals after a paint job, www.reproductiondecals.com has them.
 For some reason, they don't show the Honda stuff on the website, but they have them. That's where Z1Enterprises, who also sells them, gets them.

John,

You rock!!!  I searched several site today.  Even the ones that had me upload a picture and they use a program to narrow the selection down.  Nothing even close.

Since I'm not going for stock and my bike is a "K" anyway, I think this will work just fine.  Hopefully I can find a free version of the font...

Thanks so much,
Jeff

Scott,

Thanks for the links.  I'm not wanting stock colors, so was hoping to find someone to do custom.  I had talked to reproductiondecals and asked if they would make them they wanted, but they said no.
