- April 14, 2014, 19:07:33 PMThat looks good, Dubliner! That looks a lot like what I ended up with on my tank emblem, for the "insert" I used. I wanted raised letters, but the machine shop said it would be very difficult / impossible to cut some of the letter outlines as small as the radii were, so I opted for the outline, much like yours.
However, your badge gives me some new ideas for the next one. One of those "Duh" moments - why don't I just....

- April 14, 2014, 18:06:49 PMWell gentlemen and ladies, things finally settled down here and i had some shop time yesterday. Getting raised very small letters is harder than I thought. I need to look into other metals perhaps, or cold casting maybe. Anyway, I'll keep at it and get something I'd be happy with and maybe you will be too.

- April 06, 2014, 17:46:21 PMI had my tank painted since it had some small dents around the gas cap. The badges had already been removed by the original owner and I could not find the the oem stripes. Didn't look bad just a little too plain for my tastes. I thought about getting the war bonnet decals with the drifter script in them and then ran across the ones you see in the photo on ebay and thought I would give them a try. Not sure how well they will hold up but certainly a little different and still an off shoot from some of the vintage Indian logos.

- March 24, 2014, 20:55:41 PMWhere does one find those air cleaner covers anyway? I've seen some, but they say they don't fit FI Models, hence my frustration.
