Tank badges

I have just taken my CB550F2 tank for a refurb and re-paint etc.
I have a set of silver with black background HONDA tank badges.
The centre to centre distance between the badge mounting holes is 80mm.
I seem to think the tank mounting points are a different distance apart, smaller I think.
I’ve e-mailed the painter to ask him to measure the distance between the mounting points on the tank.
What is the normal distance between mounting points?
How are the badges fitted to the tank?
Is Silver with Black background the correct badge?
Thanks. Bill W.

Trigger:
Bill, they are fitted with little clips P/N 87311516000. Mine are all fitted now so can not help but, the badges have 390 on the back then, R is for right and the other badge should have L on the back  ;)

Thanks Trigger. No rush to get the parts as, the painter has a turnaround time of 3 months, he is very busy at the moment, but quality work. Rapier Paintworks  Lime st, Hull.

I have a couple of tank badges for my’77 CB550F2. They are badly damaged. Would anyone have any to sell/donate. Part numbers are 87121-390-780 and87122-390-780.
Thanks

Trigger:
No easy to find Bill. The last good set i got me hands on i got from the states.

They were originally gold but, over time the gold goes to silver with washing and sun bleaching. Link to a NOS one >>>https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-LH-Tank-Badge-87122-390-780-CB550F-77-CB550K-77-78-OEM-NOS-small-defect/224190638891?hash=item3432cdab2b:g:O8EAAOSwOb5fg5kU
