Very nice indeed! I have a coworker friend who took a swing at it for me and his results weren't bad, and I bought a few sets from him, but yours look really really nice.

Thanks Schu,

I am really happy with how they came out. Took all my measurements from an original badge and the shape is quite complex.

I worked really hard on the details, as the badge isn't just a stretched out oblong, and the spacing of borders, letters and the bolt hole shape etc took quite some time to get OK!

My badges are flat, but bend easily for installation and overall I am very happy with them and more importantly they look great on the bike!

Here are a few more detailed shots, and shots of the badge on bike!

Not sure if I can advertise these here - but they are available on all good auction sites.

I haven't been able to find on ebay.

Looks like you’re currently sold out. I’ll see if you have a preorder option. Thank you. Nice work

I could be mistaken here but did you do an article in Tansha VJMC mag ?
The reason i asked was i recognised the template in your pics. Same method.
I've bought 2 sets through ebay just now.

Hey Dave, thanks for the order, they will be going out today. Pictures of them installed in this thread would be lovely! Over 12 sets have gone out the last few days via eBay and FB groups etc and it is so great to see them fitted to peoples bikes. Make sure you use M4 JIS!

I didn't do the article in the mag, I am an engineer by trade with a hobby passion for 3D modelling and I was getting really really cross looking for copies of the badge and thought I would just design and manufacture them.

They aren't NOS badges. But they are better than no badges!
