That looks to be where the original red hadn't faded under the original stripe. Mine was originally red, does this help? I have some dimensions that I took at the time if you need them. Hi again
Can somebody tell me what the original decal would have been on the red fairing. Just uncovered this, but just a darker red stripe...

I think I have some tail/sidepanel stripes left over that might look ok, Tight a**e I know😁 Personally I think the tapered stripes finish the fairing off nicely. I got some replacements made up by a guy I know of who supplies replacement tank decals. My fairing is on a 400/4, not a Superdream, so I went to someone who could use the same colours as he uses for the tank stripes. They weren't expensive, and well worth the money I reckon. Might be worth trying someone who supplies Superdream decals to see if they could help.

Agree about the tapered stripes so the plan is to mask around the outlines of the old decals, spray in white to get a background and then lay some other paint/decals onto that in a colour scheme that's sypathetic to the rest of the bike. Well that's the plan🤣

Agreed, looking good.
Where did you find the decals? Did you produce them yourself?

All off the shelf rattle cans, already had the paints that are a rough match for the Honda decal colours. Want a white border around the stripes really but liable to bugger it up so maybe leave well alone.
