I saved some bucks by buying my new reproduction Dream 300 badges directly from
RRHByrne@aol.com.
I found Ray through a post on this forum, been buggin’ him ever since. They look real good, maybe a little weak in the “Dream” department but that’s no problem for my “rider.” They look a lot better than the old one that was on bike when I pulled it out of shed. Better than the rusty tank covers they’re attached to. I’m very happy and satisfied with them. --Lee

Great deal! I paid €185, plus shipping, for mine from Holland! They are bloody nice -- indistinguishable from OEMs, in fact -- but yours you have there, at €42 delivered, who could pass up on that deal?!

I see that a set of these same badges just sold for $108.49 on ebay with shipping, nearly twice the price I paid. Keeping up with this forum can pay off.
Here's an email reply I got from Ray in early March: "hi lee , i am in china now and just approved the early 450 molds. i will be coming back with cb/cl 72 , cb/cl 77 , ca77 dream 300 and early 450 badges. we will modify the dream mold to make some ca 72 dream 250's later. i will be back mid march . next on the list is yamaha dt1/rt1 early yr2s , cb 160 and s-90s . thanks, ray"
He's certainly got an interesting "niche" business. Don't know what else he's got already, couldn't hurt to check with him if in market for any badges. --Lee
