Tank emblem

When I bought my 1998 Tourer in 2001, the tank emblems were already removed because the original owner liked the "clean" look.  I bought some on ebay a few years ago, but delayed installing them because, after having a custom paint job, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do more with the paint scheme.  I've decided to leave it a solid color, so I applied the tank emblems today, but now I'm wondering if they are the right ones for my year because they have the F6 above the wing.  It's not a bid deal, since it is  no longer stock since it is not a factory color, but is anybody and expert on which tank emblems go with which year?
People who don't ride are missing the exhilarating feeling of closeness to God that comes from riding through His magnificent creation.

I am pretty sure you are OK.  I believe they went to the maidenhead when the IS came out in 99.

I had these custom made and shipped for $100. I was going to mount them on the tank, but decided to go for the saddle bag instead because I wasn't sure I could mould them enough for the thank.
If anybody would like to try a tank mount with this design, let me know and I'll send you a link to the place that made them for me. He's probably still got the pattern.
That's my wife's face if it bother's anybody.
