My new paint kit arrived today and it looks great...

So should I fit it at the weekend or wait and order some 'eyebrow' tank badges?

If it were me I couldn't wait. I'd have everything mounted up and ready to go. Then when the badges show up... so much better. Wait? And do what... put that kit under your bed, behind the sofa, back in the box? Is there really any question?

Are those Badges sold for our 2001-2008 tanks, and fit perfectly? Or are they for the older style? Looks perfect!

I just got an email back from World of Triumph saying they could be ordered and shipped to the US.

They also confirmed the part number for Eyebrow Tank Badge kit is A9758044.

How much are those eyebrows going to cost you shipped from England? That's one of my favorite tank emblem styles.

The badges are only £62 but the shipping is an extra £45...I'm pretty sick as I go back and worth about once a month, just couldn't wait until up next trip.

Well done Martin! Just in time for the 4th of July, but also celebrating our county's parent and best friend.

Unless they are sending them by courier, they are ripping you off big time!! I would think that the actual cost of shipping would be less than £10.00.

I agree, but 'needs must' and all that.

Couple of days after I ordered from World of Triumph, Paul from Phillip McCullen (www.phillipmccallen.com) also got back to me and would have sent them as well, maybe they would do a better deal?

My biggest frustration is I go back and forth to the UK about once a month (still have a house there) but wanted them 'now'....
