link Normally I wouldn't post a link unless I knew the seller but I know a lot of people are looking for these. Just picked up a set myself recently or I'd grab them.

Yup, those appear to be the ones for our Hinckleys alright. They're getting THAT rare, are they?

Those will fit an America/Speedy, but they are not the common "eyebrow" most are looking for. That badge is the one that I believe first came out on the 04 Thruxton. On the "original" the brow raps to the bottom in the front and the back ground is sand cast or pebbly, not horizontal parallel bars.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Yep Mac, and my personal opinion is that these particular badges in this link are just slightly too small in appearance for our larger Triumph Cruiser tanks, too.
Seems I'm now lucky to have purchased the "eyebrow" badges that you were talkin' about when I did a few years ago from the dealership, as apparently word is now that all screw-in type badges are now discontinued items, which makes senses, as now all the badges on the newer bikes are the chromed plastic stick-on type.
Of course, there is also that alternative that erle did to his bike by slightly modifying those older '70s Triumph badges.
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

These are the 'Bonneville' badges rather than Eyebrow.  Couple of the UK dealers (e.g. World of Triumph) do still have the Eyebrows but my local dealer said they can't be ordered from Triumph any more. Be aware though the shipping from the UK is nearly as much as the badges themselves (I paid around $110 including shipping!)

Too much money for these. Bonnie badges can be had for less than half that from bonnie owners looking to switch to our Heritage badging. Not a unique situation. I recently bought a Japanese car (first since the '70s) sold under a different name in Japan. U.S. owners are clamoring for Japanese Domestic Market accessories and badging while JDM owners are looking for U.S. Market parts.

Just curious and as a matter of interest, the Heritage badge was stock on America/Speedy, the Eyebrow was stock on the T-100 and the Bonneville was stock on the Thruxton. What was the Classic stock on, the triple Thunderbird? Just wondering.

Early Thunderbirds, Legends an Adventurers.
The "Bonneville" badge was also stock on the Scrambler.
