Problem is, they're EXPENSIVE! Four decals (both sides of top & down tube) would be about $50!

I think I may have to print my own on a laser printer and forego any white accents...
One possibility is that maybe you could use a clear waterslide decal paper, and underpaint the area on the frame with a light coat of white spray paint. Set the areas that you want to show up white as null (no color) then the white would show through the clear spots.
