Actually not, look closely and you can see some are slightly angled maybe 3 - 5 Deg Horizonal means level

Definitely keep the text horizontal. Sloped looks like a shade tree did it and got it wrong. Keep it parallel to the axis of the breather and the pipes. Aesthetics are everything.

Test placement 1. Your thoughts please

Edit: I am installing a lower profile rear Night Dragon tire and lowering the rear an additional 3/4" inch - maybe I should wait until then to install the emblems?!

That looks perfect but if your going to lower the back, I agree that may throw it off....... Another 3/4"? Sure that's not going to rub? Already pretty low. Nice bike too!!!
