I will be painting my new tanks soon, I would like some ideas and opinions on the badge. The color will be the same as the posted pic and will be an original style 5 gallon flat side. I don't want a"rag-catcher" ,will be a decal to go under the clear. I have seen original style black&gold online bar/shield. The ones you see in pic I had made when I did this tank. I do like these still but not sure if I want to make two more of these and keep the same thing.
I'm thinking the black and gold expensive ones might not go with the blue.
Would like to stay close to the correct era ,if you know what I mean.The ones I made are correct in size but worded differently...

 

My thinking is that it would look good

I think they are having trouble with their site, I can't view the badge at all. But I will try again tomorrow.

 

I bought my genuine 1990 tank decals from eHarleyParts.com, who have tons of them, although they can be darned expensive! Well worth a browse. Hyacinth will keep her birch white batwing and tourpak, because they have over 200 dollars worth of decals on 'em, made from unobtainium.

 

I was just on there, very expensive, many choices though.

 

I like these.


Actually looks like a patch. But this is the style.

 

When I first painted my birch white parts, about 15 years ago, the correct 1990 tank decals were available from my dealer - they weren't cheap then! This time around I planned painting the whole bike my 'new blue', including my 6 gallon tank. I searched for more hours than I care to admit, looking for the darned things, but that was the only place I could find them. It was a simple choice - pay or go away! So I only bought two for the tank.

 

Best looking gas tank HD ever put paint on:
