[Shotimes] Yamaha Badges on

[Michael S Wojton]

No these are different.  These are about 1 1/2" in diameter.  They have the
"tuning fork" Yamaha logo on them.  Hrinsin removed the DOHC emblems
from his front fenders and put these on.  I was going to put these above
the DOHC emblems, because he said the paint was slightly wavy under
the ones he took off.  Some rubbing compound smoothed it out, but I didn't
want to take any chances.  Compared to the DOHC badges, the Yamaha logos
looked like stickers.  I wanted to have an emblem type look.  The guy who
was going to make them for me has had the sketches for about 8 months
now and hasn't done anything with them.  Maybe it's time to find somebody
else to do it.

I purchased some from Al a while back for my '93.  If these are the same type
"thick sticky type badges" you are talking about, we removed the Ford one's
with a blow dryer and then put the Yamaha badges in place.  They look good.
My '91 already had them on it.
