Default Emblem question

I have the old emblems off and would like to get the new ones installed. Have everything to locate, but my question to those that have done this is, How do you bend the emblems to match the tank without kinking them?

Here is what it will look like if I can get them bent. It is attached for the picture with magnets.





Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I just used my hands and bent it bit by bit till I thought I had the curvature right.

What a mod! Check out Whiffleboy's emblem, it's perfect. I'm after one of a different style right now to show more of the blue on my Bob. This is such an obvious improvement but it gets overlooked amidst thoughts of exhaust, a/c, etc.

I put emblems, larger than what you're doing, on my '91 FXRP, I tried getting mine level with the road and think they turned out very nice. I had a problem with a small bubble if you get a air bubble puncture it with a needle and work the air out from the edges to the hole.

Here's a pic of my emblem:

OK let me try this again, what are those pipes? I must have them, do they come in black ceramic or did you have to have them coated?I would already have pipes for my Bob if I could find them in black so far the only system I've seen in black is Thunderheader which I will probably order this week if I don't find something else.

They are Bassani Pro Streets and they did come in the black ceramic. Ordered from North County Customs http://www.northcountycustoms.com/ . It took about 10-14 days to get them. They have them coated when you order them. (at least that is what they did back when I got them)

I do love them. They sound really good. IMHO.

I ordered them from HD. Believe it or not they were the cheapest. Emblem P/N: 61769-47T ('47-'50 models), Adapter Kit P/N: 61783-92T. I still don't have them installed because I haven't had the time to get them bent. Still looking for the best way to bend them without kinking them.
