Don't like the look of badgeless tanks.... You're doing it right by putting a badge on it...

If you get the main harness pulled out and the control harness's taken apart at the connectors it wont take long at all to get the new bars on. The are easy bars to run the wires though unlike some.

I like the ones in your pic. I love the old school look and I believe those were like from the panhead era. I also like the Harley badge style like what is stock on the Fat Bobs except without the little blade thing.

B, when you have the tank on send me some pics and I'll do a photoshop of the different badges that you're considering.

i think you'll like the carlini's. They are probably a diff position for you though..lot's of pullback i think.
I love em.. they were my 1st choice until I got the ones i have.
Also, i was actually starting to bend conduit and mock up my own bars when i came across them. I might still fart with some bars, but what I was going to make was similar to the ones i have.. just a little less pullback.

you ever consider a custom paint job instead of emblems?
