    Reproduction emblems

    I just got reproduction emblems from Old Bike Barn and the quality is superb. They're cast metal gold plated, black painted where required. They're made by that guy in Austrailia (badgereplicas.com.au) and Old Bike Barn is his distributor here in the US.

    Pricey, but worth it IMHO.

        Don,

        BTDT. I found the Aussie guy first, but he was reluctant to do small orders worldwide and directed me toward Old Bike Barn. The $$ difference would have been about 25%, but then the shipping would have been more. A wash maybe? I don't care, I love my badges

          Randy,

          I had read in previous posts that some users found that the badges weren't sized right. Specifically, the mounting screws didn't match?

          Your observations?

              I posted on this some time ago. One of my friends ordered these badges for his XS-2. They were unacceptable in this case. All monies were graciously refunded. This was a direct deal with the folks in Australia.

              I would hestate to order from elsewhere before knowing they will guarantee satisfaction.

                  Hey Badger,

                  Funny you should mention that, cause when I first looked at that URL, it looked like it said "Badger", but the word "Replica" runs into the word BADGE. I've never been close enough to a "Badger" to tell if they STINK or NOT!

                  Remind me to ride upwind from you if we ever ride together!! LOL
