I have that tank badge sitting on my desk right now. I like the center all painted black all around Triumph.

So... who is this? Someone here?
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Nah... well, maybe! It's one of thousands of pics taken by Darryl Cannon (Killboy) from the Tail of the Dragon. He does this commercially.

They look way better on the tank vs. a desk (sorry folks... the opportunity was there, so...)

Hey Keith,
Are those badges still available?
Did you do any modifications to get them to fit?
I would like some for my 2004 Speedy.

Wow! There seems to be a run on eyebrow badges as of late! No modifications needed Frank, the bolt pattern is identical to our tanks. But ummmm, I'm not totally up on this but I think they're getting harder to find. I found mine via a private sale... not sure if you can still find them new.

Well, if you don't sell the Trophy.  I suppose yours will be for sale when the America goes. 
We can always do a badge for badge swap and a small cash payment.

Won't work out Frank. Trophy or no Trophy I'm keeping the America. Yeah... I finally came to my senses (with a little help from some of the fellas here).
