Default how many actually like the tank badges?

Seems like everyone with a Bob rips off the tank badges and reflectors...actually, the badges don't bother me at all...how many have left them on and like 'em?

I left mine on but I'd rather see a more "old school" logo on there. I'll probably take them off eventually but I haven't found anything I'd like to replace them with, if at all.

My dyna doesn't have any but I think that'd take away some of the coolness of the ghost flames if I put them back on.

I have an 06 wide glide...and I prefered the previous year's badges. But as I had my bike longer, they grew on me. Now I really like them. For those with 06-07 Wide Glides, have you noticed how there's much more to those badges than what you see at a quick glance?

I'm definitely leaving mine on....and I think I'd leave them on regardless. I would pull off my tank badges on my metrics...but I wasn't especially proud to be riding those bikes. It's a different story with this one.

I was thinking of getting those also, but it's gotta wait until after the ape hangers.
