Thats a nice lookThat looks great!!
When I redid my factory badges, I poured clear(ish) epoxy over 'em. You plan on going that route?

Do you suppose poly urethane would work instead of the epoxy

I like the looks of it but how are you going to badge itI didn’t like such a heavy contrast.
muted out the white, not so bright.
went over the black with a metallic black/silver and I think I like it.
still not sure about symmetry.

Looks like the raised lettering is gone
I'll have to try it on one thats in poor shapeNot sure Mikey. If it was pretty thick it probably would.

might be a little to brittle though
In the right light it looks pretty much black, change it up and the light areas get a silver grey.
Tank paintwork looks superb. Classic chrome carrier sets it off beautifully.Well I didn’t like the tank too much contrast. Looked like a big fish.
good thing about paint, just sand it off and redo.
I still want to add a little more dimension to the paint but I think I like the subtle contrast better. In the right light it looks pretty much black, change it up and the light areas get a silver grey.
I think it fits better.
who knows, maybe when I finally get it done it will be green and orange haha.

Afraid I have to agree. On their own they looked fantastic. On the bike.... well they don't really seem to flow with the rest of it.Mocked it all up and I don’t think I’m a fan of the tank badges. They aren’t finished (still pretty rough) but they just don’t seem to fit the feel. Thoughts??
I love the exhaust ! Hopefully you're able to post a video of it in the end so we can hear it - one where you walk around the idling bike would be fantastic. Not sure about the stylle of the Yamaha badging as you noted, BUT it's your bike and any one else's opinion means squat really.

Are you thinking of changing the exhaust? If so please let me know. It’s exactly what Ive been looking for to go on my project and would be interested in buying if you go another route.
You too huh?It ain’t the first time, and definitely not the last time, that one of my off the wall ideas didn’t work out.
