but I have had a sniff and a few feels of them, and they are heavy and metal. money well spent.

moral = dont drink and badge
Im liking the badgeless look at the moment
I like the badges when they are put on properly... they are bent to fit the sweet spot on the tank..... wherever that is

Took me almost 3 hours to put mine on, had to get the bike stood up just right, actually strapped it on both sides to keep her up , then back and forth back and forth, measure measure, look back and forth, warm tank up and stick with a weird look of "OMG this better be right" they are nice, iam stil not sure they are where they should be but i am happy enough. There is one real sweet spot they will fit on without bending or having any gaps etc, it takes a while, take your time, don't drink! LOL

I sawed mine off and replaced them with old skool [Triumph] vinyl, yellow gold against a RMH paint job. they pop out and draws the eye straight to the tank and now people notice that triumphs look sweet. triumph bikes are nice, but you cant make the horse drink water
