I found a set of tank emblems on Fleabay for my '66 shovel head 3 gal. tanks. they are real with the fox engraving on the back.
My question is have you ever seen the upper and lower triangles painted black?? Every pic I see they are white. These seem to be original black not a repaint.

 

I've never seen them black before but also, they're not "white". I think the color that they came with from the factory is called Birch White and they match the saddlebags.

Here's the original emblem from the 67

here's the original emblem from the 68

 

Nice bikes. Here's a pic of my '66. Emblems are birch white also. I looked at all my literature and every pic from '66 through 71 shows them white. Just wondering why these were black.

 

Some real nice machines there gentlemen.

I like them both ways.
