Sport top yoke badge on ebay

Post by boris tarpit »

Don't think I've ever seen one of these listed before, not a real one anyway. Were all the badges wedge shaped or were the early ones flat??

Hi,
Yep they were wedgetailed and that is a good price.

There is a chap in New Zealand who also makes them and the tank and sidecover badges in metal.

Cheers

Brett, thanks for the heads up... I think I've found him --> http://www.morinibadges.com

The Sport triple clamp badge is offered at $55 (NZD), £1 is currently just over $2 (NZD) (Gosh, I remember when it was about $3.5), so about £27, but I'm not sure how much the postage is.

eBay item is currently sitting at £31 with a couple of days to go.

Hi Richard,

Thats him, and he makes excellent products and great service.

I purchased the tank and side cover badges off him and the yoke badge in the Italian colours.

The postage to Australia was very reasonable and very quick, just send him an email about the postage.

Cheers

Brett, thanks. Great minds and all that... I was also thinking that the Italian flag yoke badge would be a subtle personalised touch on my otherwise standard 3 1/2.

Hi Richard,

Yes I thought the same and quite like the look with the Italian flag colours it suits the bike. Plus I put a sticker on the tank saying Made in Italy and a small Italian Flag sticker on both of the side panels.
