Help with decision - tank badge or bare?
Hey all,
Alright, so I've been working on winter mods, and my bike is going from almost completely black, to having more contrast. A big part of that is going to be coming from the wheels I have on order.
I've been rocking the badge-less tank for awhile now, and am starting to think "it needs something". So, I'm considering putting badges back on.
So, just looking for some opinions either way, I'm still undecided myself. Below I have a pic of the actual emblem (they look fantastic in the hand), a pic of my current tank (sorry for the dust, winter mods are still in full effect) a picture that I quickly photoshopped the emblem on, and a picture of the wheels I have on order.
Help a guy decide!

Thanks guys, the photoshop probably sucks a bit to, I'm gonna try to get over and put the actual emblem on temporarily to get a better idea. It's more of a contrast thing rather than a branding thing (could care less about that, which is why I stripped the tank originally).
Thanks for all the opinions, much appreciated, keep em coming!

I like the contrast. Not necessarily the badge, but the badge does break it up and add a little depth to it.

Couldn't agree more with adding some contrast, I think it's a small detail that goes a long way. With that said, I wouldn't go with those tank badges. I'd look for a smaller one with the HD shield type look. Find the one you like best regardless of color - you can always have them chromed for a unique look.
