Tank emblem colour for my CB550k3
« on: March 22, 2018, 02:43:38 AM »
Hello all,

I would want to ask your help since I am trying to restore my tank emblems (I have a CB550k3 from 1979, Germany) but I am in trouble regarding which are the colours that I must use to restore the tanks emblems following the original colours.

Mine are so modified during the years that I am not able to recognize which were the original colours. The colour for the side panel emblems is so clear to me (background black & gold for the letters; attached for more details).

Could you help me on that, please?

Thanks,
Álvaro

The tank emblems on my US '77 550K were gold on a black background
