A source for R100GS tank badges .

Post by Sibbo »

I've asked this before but my computer crashed and I lost my bookmarks so I need to ask again . ;)

I'm about to get my rough old 100GS tank repainted and the badges are in need of replacements. Any suggestions ?

Munich Motorcycles has them, Peter -

There would be all sorts of creative alternative symbols if one wanted to avoid stock badges - Yin/yang symbol, a fish eye, a bulls-eye target, a spiral, a nipple ... ok, I'll stop now.

Hi Charlie .... not too expensive ! Munich usually terrifies me !
Bulls eyes and nipples . ... thinking :roll: , a yin yang might be OK too.

The 70 mm stick on badges also go on the centre of car wheels, last ones I bought from a car dealer were $6-, so the $13- is only +100% , better than MunIch's usual +200%.

Might be worth a check on a microfiche to see if the cars have a larger one to match the GS BADGE.

I used the car badges on my Heinrich. I can't recall the fella I ordered them from. Try the wreckers.

I need the 82 mm size , there is a depression formed in the tank to take them and it's about 88mm in diameter .

Can't you just order them from any BMW dealer? When I've wanted new ones for my RTs that's all I did and they arrived promptly and at reasonable cost.
