Yep, they look great.
No offense to anyone who has a Limited but I've always thought the emblems on the Ultra were/are much nicer.
It has always bugged my wife that here Heritage(s) had decals as opposed to emblems.

I agree. The bike was originally Denim Black and after it was repainted the previous owner never put the emblems back on. Im glad he didn't but when I bought it I looked at it and started thinking about where I wanted to go with the tank. I had reservations about the off white color of the emblems but think it turned out great.

Looks good !!
When I did mine I had pinstripes to help align badges. Using the console and tank bolts for reference points to measure from...I measured to the badge (temp taped in place) and used blue tape to mark four edges. Copied measurements to opposite side and placed the four pieces of tape, then placed badge. ALSO ... if you can prop the bike up more upright it helps with visually picking your placement as well as applying.

I didn't sweat it... I ran the emblem along the tank to get the best fit/match with the curve of the emblem to the curve of the tank. then marked a point of reference with some blue painters tape. Peeled and stuck. Getting the first side took longer. I then just took a string and measured from the top of the tank to the center of the star for my first measurement and did the same front to back and used a grease pencil to make a small mark. Nothing to it.
