Looking for new or used gas tank emblems.  Any place besides EBay to look for them. CB 750"s don't fit. Pin placement. Can anyone direct me where to go to look?

Welcome aboard dnblanch

If you have your original badges you could refinish them.

Here you go:

Looks like he’s out of stock for the tank emblem. I think that’s where I got mine a few years ago, maybe not. I’ll look around.

Mine are different and are applied with 3M adhesive.

Try Badge Replicas Australia. I got some 550 sidecover badges last year; good quality. Metal, not plastic, but not particularly expensive.
