Ok just to clarify, looking for the 'Ducati Corse' stickers.
Now, is this ok with everyone?! Lol
A lot of people including myself put the Ducati Corse Sticker on the 1199 before anyone knew what the R was going to look like. There was someone who actually posted the vector graphics for us on this forum back in 2012. The following year when the R came out the Ducati Corse sticker was on the R model. If anything Ducati Copied everyone else.
Antihero posted a mod that he had done to his bike to add coolant, guess what the 1299 now comes with that same mod. Some one else posted a mod on the 12 to see the oil level and guess what the 13's came out with that mod. These things Ducati copied their customers.
Feel free to put what ever you want on your bike. Its your hard earned money that you spent and you might as well have it the way you like it.

Good points Scrapper.
It's not about trying to make a bike look like the R. The R comes in one color only. If I was willing to buy a red bike, I would have purchased an R. Since I specifically chose a white 1199 and know that I always end up modding my toys, buying an S didn't make sense, so i got a base n changed most of the bike to the way I wanted it to look. I got the decals to mainly cover up the factory gray decals. It doesn't go with my color scheme. My decals are placed over the existing gray decals. They are not clearcoated over because it's too expensive to sand down n clearcoat just to put a decal kit on it. The R decal is simple and subtle, a slight change to add some color to a "primered" bike.

Your bike is trick and not trying to be anything, although you've used other models decals its still unique, im just offering a different perspective.

Looks great Steveo, I have the same decals on mine, it's all about what you like and I think this breaks up the red a bit, people who don't care about what their bike looks like buy BMW's.

so does that mean people who get replica MotoGP livery are posing that they are riding a GP15 Desmosedici? Or if you put on the full Aruba.it WSBK livery, you must be trying to fool people that you're on an SBK-spec bike.

Each to your own . But if you saw a car being driven around painted like a NASCAR you would think the person driving it is a bit of a knob .

That's why I added the white decals myself, not to imposter anything but just too much red for me.
