I sell badges specifically for the ST1300. Riders all over the world seem to like them and I'm starting doing another line which is again for the ST1300. Problem is that in UK we can't get samples of this particular badge because they refuse to sell into a market they're not intended for - which is why I needed to ask for advice fom both the U.S and Australia.
Owners have expressed a wish that HONDA would provide a proper, solid cowl badge for the non-Euro version but they don't, not like the facelift they gave the Pan badge years ago, when it became solid and not just a decal.
So if they won't supply them, I will try to. Slightly modified to enhance the thing and available in stock single characters in resin or with a 'rippling in the wind' national flag of the owner's choice visible though the slightly enlarged holes in the zeros on the flagged version.
To an eye that's not that bothered about detail they'll look identical except for being resin, but I've got rid of a couple of little things that seem to bug some people like different arm lengths on the '3', the fact that the 'ST' and the numbers seem to incline at different angles, etc.
These ones being bigger than the others I sell, are being made by a firm which makes badges for the external skins of Jumbo Jets so they should stick ok!!
Anyway, when I go South for a family visit next week, I'm picking up the samples and looking at the maker's operation to make sure that I'm happy with them. After that the camera will be out to do the ads, etc.
So that's what it's for. Don't want to take advantage of the forum for selling. I don't do it as a business, I just like doing stuff like this as a hobby.
If the mods feel this is an inappropriate post, I am sorry, it wasn't intended and I am happy for it to be deleted.
Regards and thanks again.
