Badge detail
« on: June 11, 2005, 05:07:49 AM »
Morning,

I'd like to know what the color is on the inside of the "Honda" on my tanks and the "500/four on the side covers. fading due to time has elminated whatever was originally there. Any suggestions for replacement? I had thought of some sort of reflective material with an adhesive back, but also thought about painting them with a brush.

any suggestions would be appreciated,

hym

The Honda emblem letters are white with a black background and here`s a pic of the sidecover badge.

The orange "F" popped out of one of mine last summer  >:(

I picked up a new one on eBay for about £5 but I haven't seen any for a while.
