I see, so I can infer that it's an OEM part. I took a stab in the dark at a 1978 CB750k diagram and found these two parts: 87127-405-000, and 87126-405-000 that seem to look a lot like what you've got there. Ebay search is turning up dry, and it's not available on any parts website. guess you win this round :-p
I just typed in honda fork badge and bought the one I thought would look best. There are several different ones.
It came with a bracket that I bent and drilled to make work. Probably made in China.

PowerDubs I love what you've done with your bike. The '80s was my era and wow you've nailed it!

Yes, I really like the look of that bike too! I was getting kind of focused on the red ones, but that black one looks really sweet!!

The raised white letter tires is a nice touch. Is that a 2014?

Yup- a 2014 with bits of ‘13, ‘17, and Rebel 250 sprinkled on.

It is a really good example of what appeals to me about this bike.
1. Old School Cool
2. Ability to personalize
3. Modern reliability and performance
Can get rid of both Harley and Versys. Have one bike that serves both purposes.
However, I do not look forward to selling Versys and Harley.

Nicely done PowerDubs. By including one of my favorite features of the '13 model, you've dramatically changed the look of your '14 model.

For me the critical piece of the old-timey look and feel was the 4 into 4 exhaust, I have always loved that look. Getting the Pipemasters exhaust from Marty made a huge difference in getting the look I want - and they sound great!

Compare that to a 1980, and how my 1100 looked before the pipe switch:

This bike was fun from day one, and it keeps getting more fun as I make it mine!
