I know it's not accurate, but I wish those were available in silver instead of gold. With all the chrome and polished aluminum on these bikes, gold would have been the last color I picked if I was Honda

You can get them from Martijn Elserman in Holland. However, Martijn's are €185 + shipping. martijne@gmail.com

Colour preferences aside, Ray's are the best emblems you'll find at the price. I have both of the above and, before Ray came up with his, I had Martijn produce a gold-coloured inlaid pair for correctness. The only discernible difference between the two types is that, on Martijn's, the word 'Dream' is more defined than Ray's.

Both are made from a more-modern and better UV-stabilised material than the OEM Honda emblems.

Excellent! Thanks for the info. They are a bit pricey but not entirely out of reach. Probably something I'll get towards the end of my resto.
