I am in the process of having my baby completely repainted by a very good body shop, in an effort to save money however I am ordering all the trim myself, does anyone know the diameter of the BMW emblems on the tank and tail section??

Because I did not won't to go through the discolouring again I bought a set of badges from a BMW car Dealership. I think it came from a 2 door rear 3 series. I just walked around matching up the size. I then cut off the lugs & glued on.
The rear is off a K1200LT. Thicker but never fades again also. |

Thank you for all your input!!!! The bike came out unbelievable. It looks like I just picked it up at the dealer. Not a blemish.
Wasn't cheap!!!......but worth it!! It's like night and day. _________________ 1996 K1100 RS SE |
