Title: TANK BADGES
Post by: paul G on March 20, 2014, 12:55:14 PM

Hi all,

Really on the last legs of the 550 K3 restoration now 4 into 4 going on this weekend.
What I need is the tank and side panel badges sorting, anyone know of a company that can restore to original condition.
If not what is the best process electroplating and then someone with a fine paintbrush and steady hands.
Any suggestions ;D

Haven't had any done for years Paul. I phoned the old sign writing guy i used before but, he is no longer in business.

Would love new ones but not going to happen. Even kept an eye out over the water. :'(

Was talking to some German dealers about a spring and seat rails. One offered me badges but, can't remember which one. What colour tank badges? Gold with number 87122-390-780?

Try emailing some German dealers. They do not always advertise what they have.

Paul,
I know it is not the right badge. The clue was the link to the German trader.
