Good source for 650 tank badges

I was looking for a source for the tank badges on my 81 xj650. The only ones I could find were like $21 each. That's a little steep. anyone find any cheaper?

 

I just bought mine from the dealer for $24.49 each.

 

Mike' XS has them, but not much cheaper. However, considering that a new one just sold on Ebay for $36, Mike's isn't bad.

I heard you can get the golf cart badges cheaper - 99% the same...

One other thing - I have heard that you can refinish them (paint) and that'll get you through.

 

try a salvage yard.

 

The golf car badges are $3.00 and come in either gold or chrome from golf car dealers, however they quit making the rectangular ones and use the round tuning fork symbol now. You can only get the older style if you can find a dealer who still has some old stock.

 

sweet, thanks. I will see if I can find someone who still has the golf cart badges. Chrome would be nice, as the rest of mike bike is pretty chromed out.

 

Hate to ask such a silly question but how do you guys get the badge off?

 

They are held on by 2 small screws.

 

The Seca model is held on by double sided sticky foam tape or something like that, well at least on my model. I used a razor blade to remove them.

 

Someone on another list used dental floss to cut his off.

 

Thanks Nick, Rich.. Startin to think i was crazy... Couldnt find screws. So what do you guys use to remount them??

 

I'm not sure mine have the screws. I did take the ones off my side covers. I used a clear silicon adhesive to put mine back on. Just be careful not to get to much on or it will squeeze out and you'll have a real mess.
