CL72 Plastic Emblems

Post by gltrench » Mon Oct 17, 2005 10:06 pm

I just bought a 1963 CL72 (Whoohoo!!) that I am begining a complete restoration on. Does anyone know where I can get original or replica plastic emblems for a CL-72? These are the &quot;250&quot; emblems. Any leads would be appreciated, just can't bear to put metal emblems on such a special bike. Thanks!<br />Gabe

Everyone might need to know,the stuff selling new on ebay for these bikes ie; metal badges(sets or singles),gas caps,kicker rubbers,grips,mirrors are still available from Honda,if your local dealer has a non cooperative bonehead behind the parts counter,go to another dealer..someone is re-popping the PLASTIC badges in Japan for $130(ebay).. Bill Silver used to have them too.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I actually found one of the "last available" repro 250 emblem sets from Larry Shultz in Fremont, CA. I then stumbled accross an early Dream tank with nearly perfect 250 plastics....Now I have two sets. But, to make it even more complicated, I now find out that my CL-72 is an early model that most likely said "250 Dream" on the emblems....Whatever.....It will have "250" emblems and that will have to do for now.....

Hey Gabe. Keep the 250 ones till you find some 250 Dreams, then unload the 250's to cover the cost of the Dream ones.
