My fuel tank is just back from the painters, and looks gorgeous. When I bought the bike it had a slightly different warning decal than others that I have seen. It was just an English version as per the picture:

Is this correct, or should it be the three column multi language version decal (or frankly does it matter?!). Its a 1977 F1 version, and I rather like the decal it came with.
-
Did 400/4's actually have that decal fitted in the UK or is it a USA or aftermarket addition 🤔 Mine hasn't got one but that's nothing to go by as it isn't the original paint job.

Here you go rustywheels.
The yellow tank is a genuine untouched tank and original.
I had the blue tank resprayed with decals supplied by Redice (Piki, a member on here who supplies these decals).
-
So is that under the lacquer Dave or stuck on top?
-
My Varnish Blue tank is original (never repainted) and it has the label plus all of the other three I owned back in the day had them. Mine is not lacquered over either.
-
All of the decals are lacquered over except the 'Preserve nature, wear a hat' one
-
Thanks everyone for the help and quick responses!
My paint shop confirmed it was simply stuck on unlike the badge decals, and I had suspected the tank had already been resprayed, which is when the other sticker was obviously applied. Fortunately no damage/filler was detected when they stripped the tank, and its even rust free and now lined :) ready for the next 40 years!

Piki made me a set of safety stickers for my 750F plus a seat stencil.
I understood the sticker on the tank flap wasn’t lacquered over,should it be?
-
I'll check mine tomorrow and report back.

How do you preserve nature by wearing a helmet? :o

LOL! I found the original of this...it turned out to be the air ace Wing commander Robert Stanford Tuck. I knew his son from the Royal Green Jackets!
