Odd request

I picked up the protos for the ST1300 resin badges an hour ago. I'm pleased with the standard and I feel they are an enhancement that quite a few might like to make. Going to do some photos when I get home from a weekend away. The ST1100 version should be at home waiting for me when I get back.

To preserve the look of the later model '11 cowl decals, the resin version looks like being slightly bigger overall than the '13 resin ones because all characters will be the same height where the '13 decals have differential sizes - same length just look bigger.

Thinking about doing them in just straight chrome with black outline to the 'ST' and black top shadows to numerals. Chrome will suit every colour and outlining in black is only compromised on black bikes - on which the chrome will really stand out.

Thanks PJ - a lot of us down under are waiting with baited breath...eyes....mouses...wallets...whatever!       

Thanks for your interest in this.     

Cheers, Diesel

These are detail photos on the flickr site of the new cowl badges in resin.

Just finished putting the new badges on and I am very pleased.

The chrome will stand out on all colours I think and the black outlining which is slightly thicker on the 'ST' than on the numbers will do well, even on white.

The photo attachments on here are lower res and fewer than on the flickr site.

In one photo on the flickr site I've placed one of the sidebag Pan-E badges next to the new badge just in case people would want to preserve the Pan-E identity a bit more positively. I already have the sidebag badges in resin which say 'HONDA' and they're usable in conjunction with the new cowl badges too for outside Europe.

The 'ST1100' resin badges will be along soon. They will be the same as for the '13 except that the numbers will be the same height as the letters of the 'ST' and the whole thing will be slightly shorter in length because of the substitution of a '1' for the '3'.

I'll do a photoshop job and post a mock-up of that one soon.

Well, what do you think??

Looks very elegant, especially on the silver/grey.
