Forgive me if this has been covered before. I did carry out a search for pinstripes before posting.

The paint shop (man) I’ve asked to paint my diamond dark green Z900a4 tank has no measurements for that pattern of pinstripes. I gave him a lot of photos but he’d like measurements or a tracing.

Does anyone have such measurements handy that might kindly be able to advise me? I’m reluctant to travel from darkest North Essex to the National Motorcycle Museum, leap over the rope and frantically tape measure their example before being dragged off to Strangeways.

If I come across as slightly desperate, it may be associated with having my Z900 off the road for 3 years due to a recommended painter having my tank for that long and having the world’s longest excuse list for not doing it.

The tailpiece and tank pinstripes on the Z900 were not hand painted, Kawasaki used decals unlike the Z1 which were hand painted.

Thank you very much for your kindness.
Sadly I have given the painter my tailpiece to match with, which has painted pinstripes.
However if I have to buy the pinstripe decals you kindly recommended (thank you again) to help him finish the job, then I will.
I think though that I’m still going to have to get alignment measurements for him to place the stripes.

This is the bike I’m trying to get on the road for spring:
