Both look great on your Bike, just make sure you mount them level when you choose.
agree-I think the badge should flow with the bottom of the fuel tank. Some angle the badges to flow with the slope of the top of the tank and it looks a bit off to me. Your photoshop looks right.
Sorry he's not interested in doing things thru the mail. Said he has plenty of business local.

Could you get me some information on the person who recovered your seat? My wife is interested in getting hers done in white, as we've already done the grips, brake pedal and footboard inserts. We're ordering a white leather tank bib this week.
That's the best help yet! lol. I've been trying to get my girlfriend to recreate this pic.
It's a tough choice on these emblems.

3rd, HrdNox said the long '48-'50 gets lost in the flake, and I agree, but is that due to the smaller photo and photo shop? He also got me looking at images online to try and decide.
I love how both red badges you are considering tie in with the saddlebag badge and red tail light/ signal bullets, almost makes me want red bullets on front signals.
I usually like the longer tank badge, ('48-'50). I don't care much for the very short one on my Slim for comparison.

I agree with your points. I wanted the '49s at first cause my grandpa had a '49. As for the later years, I've seen tons of bikes with your badges.
Yes they gotta be straight. Won't look right leaning.
