not sure exactly what you're asking for, but I took a quick shot at it for you. Also threw in an alternate

I like yhe alt. take. These are decent fairings I want to pretty up and use. Keep my perfect stuff in the box.

Thanks. Maybe a little less on the large black stripe. I have black rads., as well.

Can you do one with a smaller large stripe.

Thanks so much, awesome job.

Thanks. I like the smaller stripe best. It still doesnt flow that well imo.

There's that wing's kit that used to be available from Tape Works (I think it's gone now) and it looked a lot better because it was broken up, there was read through there instead of a small sea of black in the middle of the fairing. If I were trying to do that sort of stripe I would try and emulate that tape kit perhaps.

I'm biased, but I really think Honda put some thought into the lines on the RWBs. I mean, I think they flow really well on the VTEC bodywork.

Could the lines on an RWB become the starting point? Maybe the white bit in the middle defines where your big black stripe is? Or maybe the two red stripes become the black stripes?

Also, I thought somebody just did a kindof grayscale-version of an RWB on his 6th-gen... Might at least be a proof-of-concept for the lines.
