The HD dealer said it is curved and couldn't be done. In respect to the aluminium raised edge decal I have heard they fade quickly.

This picture is what Im looking at doing.

I don't think the edges will fade. It's not as if there's going to be constant wear.

The emblems do bend a little. So you can make them curve or flatten. They're also called tank emblems. The "stickers" are decals and should probably go under clear coat.

Be aware all HD tank emblems are made to fit the tank they were designed for and they are Metal and not so easy to attempt to straighten..

Find an online dealer like Ronnie's Harley Davidson. You can search and purchase oem parts by model. I've ordered the black strut covers that fit on a 48 to replace the chrome covers on my 1200C. You can also buy filters, oil etc to get free freight for your decals. Or you use to be able to combine them.
