Tourer Badge is Go Go Go :)

Right guys & gals,

The tourer badges have now landed. I have done mine and it looks the doggies danglies.

The photos are of the actual badges but they do look better in real life (they are a pain to get a good photo of

)

As I have said previously, they are £5.95 each including 1st class postage. I will PM all of you who have shown an interest in these shortly.

Hopefully you will like them as much as I do

Richard.

Original start of thread:

Hi All,

I've been searching high and low for a replacement rear badge for my tourer and it seems they are rarer than hens teeth or rocking horse poo.

So I started thinking, can I find a company that can produce new ones?

I have found a company that can manufacture the badge with a nice clear dome. But I would need to know how many people would be interested as the initial set up would rule out producing small numbers. Will be looking at both the Mk.1 and Mk.2 variants.

What do people think??

humphshumphs · 27th June 2012, 19:35

Either or both, depending on what people would want.

mamasboy · 27th June 2012, 19:37

ill go a mk1 if the price is right, mine is a bit tatty looking but dont bother me enought to spent silly money on a replacement

humphshumphs · 27th June 2012, 19:45

Not sure of costs yet, but as I get some numbers will keep you informed.

mamasboy · 27th June 2012, 19:48

these wheel centre badges are good quality and price, may be worth contacting the seller and see if he'd do them?

Good on ya for looking into it though, I likes a mod.....

I'd be definitely up for a MK1, normally they are only available with the plinth, Rimmers want around £160. Please put me down as interested, please.
