Side panel 1100/4 badges

[Frankie_imp]

My “1100Four” were purchased on eBay from a seller in France. Metal...not plastic and very well made. He sells them as a package that includes the diamond emblem as well. The diamond emblems (OEM) are still available thru a Honda dealer. They have a plastic post on the reverse side that you’ll have to shave (dremel) off and then add double-side adhesive tape.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Your bike looks great in that colour!

If you just want the diamond side emblems here are the honda partnumbers, one for left and one for the right side cover;

Here's what you get;

Looks like the o.e.m. parts.

I am all for the "legendary look" past CBs. It speaks something of the model lineage. And maybe these emblems look better in-person on the bike. However, for some reason the images online look almost like "cheap" plastic model toy grade. Is that indeed the case? How durable are these after a few years under the sun? (as well as the "1100Four" when exposed to pant leg abrasion?)

You "pays yer money an' takes yer choice", GO.

On David Silver's Honda Spares site, he offers the original CB750Four emblems for £32 and for visually identical pattern ones, less than half the price, £15.

The French ones are metal and look superb, with a plastic logo badge.
Mm
I take your point that they might or might not, look good, be robust or not - only actually examining them "in the flesh", so to speak, and after extended use will prove whether or not they're as robust as the good quality originals.

There is only one set of the metal French ones left now. I bought the second-to-last set this morning!
