I have '65 tanks on my 1970 FLH. I changed to correct '70 badges, the screw holes are in the correct place and they bolt right up. BUT the '65 tanks back plate welded to the tank is in the shape of the '65 badges so they hang out a little in the front and back. You wold not notice if I didn't tell you. I have the '65 badges on '70 tanks hanging on the wall right now, again direct bolt on.
Since you are going in the other direction by year, I think you will be fine.

The badges currently sold at the dealership are made in Taiwan, says it right on the package. Would not be considered correct from a antique perspective, but they will be nice and shiny.

I'm not goin for original correct, numbers matching and all that. I had way more fun when I didn't know the difference and with the idiotic prices of original parts I am happy with good quality aftermarket as I am just a regular workin man. I'll leave the folks with deep pockets to chase after the original stuff do that so they can just put it on a shelf and worship it while I'm out ridin. That said, I will buy original if it is within reason but I ain't loosin sleep over it.
