Topic: Tank badges

[rhinoracer]

I was waiting in line the usual 2 hours to cross the border to San Diego CA behind a Honda Civic and dreaming of finishing my CB750 project when it struck me!

Has anybody tried using old Honda Civic or Accord car badges to replace the tank ones? From where I was they looked the right size. They are a dime a dozen in junkyards.

i read your post and go the garage mocking up H badges on tanks i have. you'll have to remove the stocks emblems recess on the tank and stick the H with double face tape. so: no problems, but i found it looked strange..

I 'briefly' considered it for my current project when looking at Honda badges/emblems on ebay, but that badge has always been associated with their automobile group, so I dropped the idea quick.  However, if I had a Honda car, I would consider putting motorcycle badges/wings on it.

Sorry, I meant the nameplate. The font looks to be the same, I'll stop by the junkyard and take some measurements.

Sorry, my mistake.  I thought you meant the 'H' logo.  I don't see why the one you are pointing out wouldn't work.  Looks very similar if not the same.
