I am sure you can get a better price from any on-line dealer.

As on the seat and the bag ... yup seat suits nicely, the bag not so sure that white piping a tad too much!

Nice bike though.

My man, Rakthi to the rescue. I too was confused when the OP said he needed $150 for the badges. I know Harley Davidson does a lot of crappy things to get the most money out of what they sell but fortunately, badges and their respective adapters are sold in pairs.

I think that it would look best if it looked like this in my PhotoShop altered image here.

If you look at most tank badges you will see that they are straight with the ground or damn close to it. Same way with the "Bar and Shield" tank badges. They all look straight and level with the ground so that when someone is standing by the bike and look at it, its level.

Exactly (he never did post another pic )

Oh yeah, that looks good. It is not only lever with the tank bottom, but since the tank bottom is level with the ground, so is the badge. Looks nice now that we can see more of it and at a good angle.

I'd loose the bag and those grips too. Seat looks really good.

I like the seat. The white piping on the swingarm bag stands out too much. If you go over the whole bag with Doc Bailey's Leather Black, it would look a lot better, and be waterproof.
