My bike came with the emblems removed. I've wanted for years to put on Euro badges, but I'm just too cheap to pop for them. Anyway I found some maiden head badges on eBay or Amazon dirt cheap a while back. I've always thought there wasn't much definition with them being mostly all chrome. So I got some model paint in a color very close to the green of my I/S. This is what I did.

Very Nice!
Considered doing something like that to my fat gurl. I like it.

Looks nice...good idea. A subtle yet tasteful modification to add to the looks of an already beautiful bike.
ps..... I like your grass down there

I like.
I want to remove the Honda Gold emblems from my Green IS, and move to the Black one I picked up.
Haven't looked yet for the installations instructions.
But what you did might make things a lot easier, and more custom/unique for my bike.
Just looked, they are on Valkyrie Norway manual page.

They look great. I too have considered something like this. I see a movement afoot.

I installed the expensive European Badges.
They are about one inch shorter than the American Version. ???
Because they are shorter it makes the Fat I/S tank look even fatter.
Actually, the badges make no reference to "VALKYRIE."
They read "HONDA F6C Flat 6 Custom."
