Great job Narsisco! Thanks for taking the time to do that. The more I see these alternative badges on the 'bird, the more I like them. Did you say you got them from MADSS? I don't see them anywhere on their website. |

I just emailed Chris directly to info@madss.com and asked him for a price (then compared to my local dealers' prices).... Chris is always (at least) 20% cheaper... plus, he throws in shipping. If you order, tell him you saw my badges on this forum... he might knock a few more bucks off. Of course, you'll have import duty, since your in Canada.

Many thanks - owe you a beer!

Sorry, you can't really see the badges in this photo... but I just LOVE my bike's ass SO much  (One of those things I'd NEVER share with my wife  )

If only Triumph hadn't put that crappy badge on in't first place.
That paint job would go well with my Phil Read rep lid!!

My brother designed, printed the 3M vehicle wrap vinyl stripes, and did the application on the bike. He runs a large-format printing/sign shop here in the Denver area and they specialize in vehicle wraps (a growing segment for them... CHEAP advertisement for a lot of small businesses).
FYI: I believe Thatch has been working with my brother to design and print something custom for his bike.

I have to say, of all the tank badges I think I like these the best. The Rocket III Roadster ones are nice, too, but..... Having an awful time finding any new-logo tank badges anywhere - would you mind giving me a clue as to where I might obtain a pair? Anybody? Thanks!
