Badge 70mm, not knockoffs...
« on: April 14, 2011, 06:31:12 AM »
Dang, I'm looking for a couple of 70mm badges to replace on my tank, but so far the ones I've found online look sorta like crappy know offs.  I'd like to replace them with ones that look original.

Any sources out there that aren't 20 bucks a pop?

Thanks!

Either Bob's BMW or Max BMW (can't recall which) has nice ones for about $10 each.  Cjeck their websites.  They appear original with high quality double sided foam adhesive.  Not sure if they are original as I had tried to order from another sourse and was told they were NLA.

You can also got to a BMW auto dealer if you have one nearby. 70mm is a stock size for wheel centers on a lot of the car wheels. That is what I did. I even got some small ones to put on the hinge pin area of my helmet visor. All are polished aluminum disks imprinted with the BMW roundel and with adhesive foam backing.
