I went with the Rocket III Roadster badges (Thanks, xFarmer) but ultimately reverted to the stock ones. I decided to put one of the R III's on my rear fender tho!

As the new Thunderbird LT has metal tank badges, we should be able to get them and put them on!!

Metal, eh? Hmmm.... Can someone verify if those badges use sticky tape or screws? Some Triumphs in the past have used screws, like my 2003 Speedmaster.

I replaced it with a couple of Rocket III badges, one I found on EBay, the other ordered through my local 'Stealer'.
I would have actually preferred a slightly larger one, but anything is better than the microscopic original ones.

But then I had a new paint scheme for the start of the 2013 riding season and have been badgeless ever since:
But know I'm contemplating adding the new 2014 LT Badge:
