Tank Logos

[jmbo]

If you like one of the designs, here is what the printed vinyl stickers look like.  The are UV safe and they are semi-peminent but can be easily removed if necessary.

Let me know if either of these works

[bikerbob5864]

Jmbo, These are on E-bay listed under "Indian Headress Motorcycle Gas Tank Decal" if you want a better view of them.

Thank You again for
what ever you can do

Okie-dokie, here goes...........I've got these at like 10"L X 4" W and I love the colors.........I think they would look great........but no one around here can help me........and most are never in their shops or answer their phones!!...............I hate to say it, but patience is NOT one of my best qualities.........therefore my people skills suffer.......,
sorry............but being less than honest about myself is something I can no longer do......Jmbo, thanks in advance for helping in this matter. I've found nothing but good people here so far........good brotherhood..........that's what it's about!!

Bob

Attach a photo of the Indian emblem you are refferencing. I think I canhelp you.

Okay fellas, here's my problem.............I'm really digging what Dub is working on.........the Enfield/Drifter Brass Tank Emblem.....it is awesome looking!!!! Congrats to Jmbo and Dub for design and engineering however, I'm getting ready for a maiden voyage real soon. I don't see this Drifter badge being ready anytime soon, which is cool......so option two is a Warbonnet Tank Logo. Trouble with that is the only one that trips my trigger is the classic, full color style......with Indian script in the middle. I can't find anyone around here who can make me one without the script. The colors against the black backround on a 2002 Tank are too cool for S'cool.........but I don't want to be a poser riding a pretendian, yet I like the look...........this has become a real moral crisis for me!!!!, I mean......Meds have been upped......changed............sleep lost......dogs loosed on innocent neighbors,.............it's been hell!?!
I need advice........

Nice, Larry. Well done.

[LarryInSeattle]

I know this thread is tank logos, but I just put this on my trailer to match it up with my Drifter.

[bikerbob5864]

I've looked at the  Z-Bros stuff and like them, but not the cost!  I just want the old time War bonnet decal in full colors, but don't want to be a poser.............or a "Pretendindian" Like the look, but................can't reconcile the Indian script. Kinda like wearing colors you don't rate........I'll check with our local Sign-Pro..........I know the Boss..........and she's a Biker herself........I like what your doing Dub!!.........Keep it up and maybe I'll have you make something for me........

It's a mock up of a tank badge for Jimbo.

looks pretty good, Dubliner.  Would that be a decal- emblem?

[Dubliner]

Ive been tinkering..., Her indoors thinks Im painting a dresser, but between coats, Ive been toying with Jims design, what dya think

[pcarrell]

bikerbob5864, Zambini Bros. might be a good place to start.  I have them on my bike and they look great and were easy to work with.  http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j319/pcarrell/Drifter/IMG_0759.jpg  Maybe you could even talk them into not coloring them so you could do your own color scheme.  http://www.zambinibros.com/

[bikerbob5864]

I am looking for a classic Warbonnet logo in full colors without the Indian Script. Now, if it was replaced with the Drifter Script, that would be cool.......could some place like sign-pro do that and if not, is there someone here who might be able to help me?

thanks

Dubliner congratulations on the homestead , glad to hear you have completed some of the work because we all know like our toys were always adding or changing something LOL . Glad your back dude .

[CDNRatMan]

  Dude you have to look after yourself and family before worrying about us, we can wait another couple of days, oh I have nothing on order...lol.....enjoy the new house......

[49Reo]

What they said!!

[greenbarn]

Sounds like you're going to have a sweet setup, Dubliner.  Congratulations.

[Troll]

     I think I can say this without fear of being over ruled: You don't need to apologize for having a life and and for making yourself a new home.  As I see it, nobody here is committed beyond a desire to belong to this group, so taking some time off to get something really important done is no reason to feel as though you need to explain anything. That said, congratulations on the new house and shop!

[Dubliner]

I'm working on it.  I have a cast brass baseplate from a mid '50's Royal Enfield. There is a member of this forum who offered to CNC a brass plate insert with a Drifter logo in an Indian type face.  I sent him a file and am waiting to hear if he can machine a plate according to the artwork.  Here's is what I hope it will look lie.

Hi guys , the CNC guy was me, very sorry for being away. I've been remodeling an old house and it's finally ready, in fact moving last things  and my laser in a few hours from now. The workshop has been stacked with gear til the house is finished so I've had no time for any shop work for a few months. The shop will now be about 15 feet from my back door so, happy days are here again, :- ). I'll make a point of getting a tank badge prototype and POW one for Driftr. My apologies guys.

I found a set of these on line, but they are original Indian and the want like 400 bucks for them.  A little too expensive to be modifying to say "Drifter"....

GB my thoughts exactly . Someone on here has to have the capabilities to make these for lesser cost  .

[greenbarn]

JMBO that looks fantastic hope all pans out for your project . I've been pondering on these with drifter scribed in it of course .

[racinfan101]

Some really awesome looking ideas!

[Drift1]

That's pretty weird, D1...  I had just seen the same badges on a google image search, and had the same thought!

Do you actually have a set?  If they do, how do they fit the tank?  That was my biggest obstacle in making up my 800 badges - tank fit.

GB no I don't have a set of these , but had them in my picture file for some time now . I don't have anyone around here to make a set for me . I'll keep an eye out to see if I can find one to match up with the tank . My vision is these would look relatively well on the tank .

[Mr.Hanbar]

Here's the collection so far with one addition for side cover...

What a great job, if you ever bring these projects to life, i would definitely buy a couple of sets! Keep it up, and congrats!
