Hi,

You can get them direct from Australia:

http://www.badgereplicas.com.au/badges_honda.htm

They are priced at $67 (Australian) each, which is about $51USD. There would be postage on top of this, but think it would still be less than the $90 on the Z900 site.

I was quoted $160 (Australian) for both badges including delivery to the UK (which is about $120 USD)

I think they are the same badges...

Paul.

Yes, thank you! Losing the factory availability of those tank badges was getting to be a real problem, with the few remaining being held hostage. As with the Z1 and H2 restoration business, we may see more and more reproduction items for the CBX. The purists will always pay whatever for NOS, but for the rest of, to get a nice functional CBX rider is the goal.

I believe David Silver has them in the US for around $75 so you may save on postage and time.

Must be repros if they still have any. I thought we discussed this. All of David Silver's stock was bought by someone to obtain the exclusive source and raise the prices. :think:

Silver buys parts from all over, and availability is of course subject to change...

I believe that David Silver (and most other parts suppliers) only has the left hand badge.
