Beautiful color, that bike is going to Garner a lot of attention.
Hoo Wee! That’s pretty! I can’t remember, did you have to line the tank?
Tank only needed cleaning inside.
Beautiful Colors !
Hard to beat that blue. Looks like he got a nice deep tone!
Not positive... but I think I have those "outlined" badges in gold. I'll have a scrounge around if you're interested?
Thanks Jim, please send a picture so I can see what you mean.
I mighta jumped the gun. Looked in my stash of badges and they aren't there. I'll keep an eye out but I may have already gave 'em away....
No worries.
Mebbie yah dint know but AFAIKT the left, right badges are the same, just takes a little gentle twisting to make them fit the shape of the gas tank. (done it) Helpful to know when searching fleabay. 73-74 TX750 badges also same as 73 TX650.
Looks great Lakeview.
I did not take off the emblems - are those mounting studs on the back simply a press fit into the tank mounts, or was there a clip involved?
PS that image is from the 73 TX750 the 650 shows wrong emblems held with screws, gotta watch them diagrams. 73 seems to be particularly bad..
PS I used weather strip adhesive.
PS I used weather strip adhesive.
On cursory inspection, figured a bit of adhesive or two-sided tape would come in handy.

These are from my Cessna stash. Think they're small enough?
I think nut is a bit of a misnomer here they are push clips, the emblem just has tangs on the back. Honestly I'm not quite clear on how you get them tight.
Ahh.... gotcha.
Nice looking paint
