When you remove them and try to mount the metal 1100 FOUR emblems over the top of the indentation there isn’t enough surface area for the adhesive to stick to.....maybe yours have better grip.....I got mine from France because Whitehouse uses a partial decal with the FOUR plastic lettering and I wanted a full emblem.

Thankfully, Mine aren't the Whitehouse ones. they're made independently by a guy on ebay who thought (rightfully so) that it should say "1150" instead of "1100". at the risk of sounding like a member of spinal tap: "it goes to 1150."

because of this they're fully solid raised automotive emblems, not decals.

There's very little in life so sweet as finding a complicated way to save $27.43. seriously though, i don't know if i can count on them being for sale in 20-30 years.


You should say ‘wrongfully so’ since our engine size is not 1150. [Image: edf1392f7241cc316988bd81854981e3.png]

it's not an 1100 either. it's 1140

So, as the pedants face off at 10 paces I ask you this: is it better that the bike be labelled as 1100 or 1150? Tongue
