Default CVO Tank Emblem size (and location)?

Can someone measure one for me? If it matters, on a Road Glide. And if there is some way to tell me the exact (or close) location on the tank please let me know. The following is a pic of some for sale online:

These don't look good and do not look like CVO's emblems. The edges are too round. It will look off, but if you like that look, then go for it.
I am not around my bike but I have a black one with red edges. https://imgur.com/a/QYrPhfx

Why do they have to look the same? Actually, I think it is better to be different so as not to seem like they are being copied...it is just a Bar & Shield.

They don't. You are right. But if you want "CVO" emblems, these are not CVO looking emblems. But to answer your placement question, I used blue painter's tape and masked it from the middle of the gas cap going down, then from the "seat" edge horizontal to the front at the half of the tank. That gave me a position where to place mine.

Just make sure they are curved so they attach to the tank flush.

Stop in at a dealer and measure for yourself ! Just saying. That way, you know for sure.
