Title: 4" round tank badge
Post by: mo goldie on 07 Mar, 2021, 23:31
Hi

do anyone know where is the best place to get 4" round tank badge as I really only want one and I seem to have seen ones sold as a pair like eBay and such like, also the ones I have seen for sale are more of a silver than gold where my old ones are a right gold color, just one of mine just cracked right across so only wanted a good one of them :-[


cheers Mo

Hi,
    I have bought from here, service and parts seem to be of good quality:

https://www.classicbikepartscheshire.com/carburettors-fuel-tanks-spares-c1/fuel-tank-badges-fixings-grommets-c57/bsa-goldstar-round-tank-badges-p347

Not sure you will find a 1 off which will a good match for what you have. You could fit this pair and sell the odd one on eBay.


Best wishes...

thought I read a forum post regarding someone who had filled in their badge with paint to improve the colour.

as for a spare, you might have to wait until autojumbles start again to find a single one, alternatively you could buy a pair and then advertise the other unless someone else needs a single then buy a pair between you

I have actually got three, I am quite happy to send all three over if you don't mind sending the two you don't require back, or even all of them back. I reside in the Worcester area, if that's anywhere near you could collect!

Hi MGI

I just pm you if you can send a picture please

Right...have hopefully illustrated this post with the relevant image of the red, gold & white badge - the cost is £25.00 plus postage which is slightly less than half of what the pair cost!

I've checked the other two out & although they are different in minor detail & different in colour, it is really difficult to decide which one is silver & which one is gold. They are both in good used condition and I am quite happy to gift them to you for the postage, alternatively I could send you photo's but the photo's make it even more difficult to decide! If you wish photo's I will send them on Monday - if you prefer to accept them as a gift just message me your address!

Bill.
