Default badges..I want steenking badges!!

Does anyone know where I can find a history of Harley tank badges? Website,book,whatever. I'm looking for pics of the gas tank emblems throughout Harleys' history. Thanks for any help.[

The next time you're at your dealer ask them if they will give you an accessory catalog. It's full of tank badges, current and older models.

Harley's traveling museum (semi trailer) has a nicedisplay of tank badges. I'd someday like to createa similar wall display in my home, provided the wife approves.

Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction. Also, if you have a V Twin catalog, ('07 is what I have) pg 1174 Happy hunting

My bad, you can still use the above, but here is another:
http://www.vtwinmfg.com/Catalog1/VTwinCatalogIndex1.htm
Once it opens,click on "Multi fit/chopper" Then scroll down to "Emblems" Now click on pg 1141.
Voila, you are there. Good luck. If you want"newer", you willhave to search 'round for that. I don't do "newer"
Not that you GAS, but my fav is the '40-'46 in Red with the stainless trim kit.

Hey ih, we haven't seen your escapades on the FORUM here, have we? Just wondering if that's how you accumulated so many different dept. badges. Nothing like an Ol' Binder, 'specially a 4WD. Had a K-2 (I think)on the farm when I was a "wee"kid. Then my brother had a SCOUT for slogging 'round deer hunting and plowing snow. GUMBY
