Fitting tank badges

(1/2) > >>

Bike so near finished and now fitting tank badges.
The paint work is a Yamiya body kit, masses of paint on it, i had to open up the
petrol cap pivot holes to get the pins in.
I'm fitting the badges, do the little forked clips go on the badges first or do they go into the holes in the tank
and then push the badges on?.
I'm assuming the holes will need the paint removing or they may be too tight to push on.
I don't want to get them half way on and get them stuck.
Cheers Rich

 ;) the clips go in the holes first easy to get confused as the old clips will will get stuck to the badges sometimes when removing
its called electrolysis when two different metals react with each other you would never guess i work in a steel works lol

RGP750:
Thanks Steff
Ha! Ha! i'm a patternmaker so have dealt with molten stuff all of my life as well.
They are new badges and new tank so "Virginal"  I'll open up the holes a bit i think then.
Cheers
