Problem solved, I removed the emblems. What a piece of crap tin emblem, had to be made in china. Now to decide what if anything to put back on.

RE: tank emblem
I had fading on mine, but can only see it when it's wet. Weird, but I don't worry about it as I just won't ride in the rain. If I had known how thin and cheap the emblems were, they would have been gone the day after I got the bike.

RE: tank emblem
Mine's a 2007...maybe there's time!
I noticed that corner of mine was coming up from way back. And yeah, that badge is a bit...insubstantial? Some of the classic badges you can buy might be a better bet, but I keep looking at the beautiful black denim and thinking that everything would flow better without that thing. It reminds me of what car dealerships slap on a car. But it says Harley Davidson, dammit!

When I bought mine one was forward and higher than the other. Quality control?

Yep, I had this 'older gemntelman' say "what is that a Honda" to me today while filling up[&:]
But he was pretty cool after all, it turns out he had a Triumph Bonneville, back in the day....
