    +1. Even though the ones he carries are technically for the 650 Maxim, they fit the 550s, Maxim and Seca, just fine. I'm running a set.

    Do the stick on or screw on?

    On the 550s, the 650 Maxim, and the 1100s, they screw on. The 550s and 650 Max badges are virtually identical, the 1100s a bit larger so the screw holes don't line up.

    On the 650 Seca, they stick on, and I'm pretty sure the 750s are all stick-on as well. Check the top of page 6 in the XJ4Ever catalog: http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic ... rt=75.html

    The 650 Seca's lettering is chrome, all the others are gold.

    To add to the confusion, Yamaha golf carts used a similar, slightly larger stick-on badge that are often listed on eBay as being for various bikes. Don't ask how I know this but they do work nicely on the garage wall or toolbox.

    badges for the 750's are stick ons as well to confirm fitz.

    The ones that Len has actually you will need to take a blow drier to them in order to reshape them a bit. They are not exactly right. There are some for sale on Ebay but you are going to pay out the butt for them, like I did. I wanted new NOS ones so I got some but not everyone is willing to pay $200 for tank emblems. Here you go, this is where I got mine from.....
