Anyone know where would find this type of dot-pattern decal for a windshield.

Any place that sells OEM parts will have the graphics.

Will it fit a 500 windshield? It's already precut, correct?

Are you 100% positive it is indeed a decal? E.g. The "600RR" on my windscreen is printed right on it, not a decal.

Sticker or not, how does one get that affect on a windshield? Any ideas?
I know there's vinyl decals out there but mostly solid colors.

It's called a half-tone pattern.

Opaque:


Half Tone (in monochromatic)


Is that the kind of dots you're referring to? But more uniform, correct? It's as easy as taking the eps file and running it through an AI halftone filter. Then it's printed on clear stock to give that semi-transparent appearance.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. How they do that, or where to get them? I explained how it's done, but as for finding them, it all depends on who has produced them. If you want something in particular, have a graphic designer do it for you and then have it printed at a sign shop or any place that prints onto clear sticker film, or window cling film.

I hope that helps.

This is more of what I'm talking about.
Hope it's clear enough to see.

I get it. It's just a half-tone imprint, no? If you could buy that separately as a sticker (which I don't think it is), it would be the wrong dimensions for the EX windscreen. IDK, go to some vinyl graphic place and see what they stock, or have it drawn up and printed for your windscreen. Or look at aftermarket windscreens for the EX?

Just go to a graphics shop and ask them how they could print that up for you.
It would probaby only take them a minute or two to make the design and them could print it on clear vinyl or something.
