Sorry Johnny but what's wrong with the original F in the badge?

Johnny4428:
Unfortunately missing Ken!

Oddjob:
Somewhere Johnny I have a few of them but my missus moved them and they have gone missing, if they turn up I'll let you know. I gave one of my spares to Roo to replace the red ones which were in his badges. I have the old one out of a copy badge, by copy I mean the ones DS sells, not genuine Honda but look like it, they aren't as orange as the original and they aren't backed with gold foil like the original.

Johnny4428:
That would be great if you could find one but no stress if you can’t Ken. I thought about buying a DS one just to rob it of the F then that’s maybe ridiculous, why not just use the complete replacement instead? I’m confused about the lettering colour. My ones are gold but I haven’t seen any other gold ones and all the replacement pattern ones have white lettering which matches the lettering on the tank badges.

Oddjob:
All the raised parts were chrome, the inside of the numbers were white and the rest was black. The F was orange like the 500. However, I seem to recall Roo trying to fit the 500 F into the 550 slot and it wouldn't go, or they did go but the 500 F is smaller than the 550 F. Plus for some reason the F in Roos badges were red not orange.

The copies that CMS are selling show orange Fs but that could be a trick of the light.
