Tank badges

Hi guys.
   Tried to find a similar thread on this and forgive me for repeating a topic possibly. I've just taken delivery of my 750 K0 tank from Dream machines, now in it's final stage of restoration and I have to find a way of attaching the tank badges on the tank as the pins, as usual, have broken. What have you guys done to resolve the problem? I may well go down the line of gluing them on but NOT with a super glue type!! I may well have to get these badges off again and don't want to destroy the paint in the process! This also applies to the side panel badges which still have the original  I am considering using Silicon (black), then to gently pick away the excess around the edges?
    What are your experiences or thoughts? Cheers.

I would try some thin but hardish foam rubber backed with carpet adhesive tape. I sticks like sh*t to a blanket if you get decent stuff with the fibres running though it and the foam/adhesive tape shoud be just the right thickness to give no real gap between the emblem and the panel. You can get foam tape with adhesive  but in my experince its not as tacky. Luckily my 'emblems' still have the mounting points intacts. BTW those K0 emblems are actually brass and re-chrome perfectly... All I need to find is someone who is prepared to sell a very small amount of Honda 'Sunny Gold' paint for the side emblems.

Double sided trim tape works well and it won't be a pig to remove in the future.
I'v got loads you can have some for free

Having gone to the expense of a respray why not fit new

Sparrow1:
Original badges and in excellent condition.. Replacing these with original would be expensive - particularly the side badges.
  Thanks Mick and all. Will PM you this week when decision has been made. 😊
