Will look brilliant when completed. I’m getting mine powder coated Gloss Black then getting them engraved with either an inner circle and cross (No ‘BMW’) or with inner circle then ‘Final Edition’…
Haha... for some silly reason I thought mine was polished aluminium but was aluminium that had been chromed (so thin copper deposit than the chrome... sorta obvious in hindsight), so after "enlarging" the circle (50mm ish) to take the 60mm tank size emblem I couldn't get the finished back to good enough. Generally, I know what looks right after I've done it but sometimes I go one step to far but normally have a step back plan just in case.... this time it's a $250 back step... in the end I've spent about $1k with the carbon and tube fetish so not the end of the world.
Stick to your original plan and grind down the circle bits, then get them powder coated gloss black to match your bike’s colour, get short polished alloy bolts and put your new badges on and it will look fantastic (put rubber grommets on the bolt ends to prevent scratching your rocker covers).
Probally will powder coat the 2nds.... here is the look I was thinking of achieving.... the emblem is recessed ok... not screwed at this stage and stuff ups not viewable in photo, but real.
Isn't everybody hear really old?
I’m too polite to say; l’m here, you’re here and l will go out on a limb and surmise that Ulrich likes to POLISH off a glass of PORT or two ( who doesn’t ? ). Some of the cheap shit l drank as a student could have fuelled a 2 stroke. That’s 3 older people l know of.
Better direct at the distillery. Can do a tasting
