Isn't that when you push the furniture to the side of the living room when the wife has gone out!

It is looking very nice. I have a '81 GL Standard that I'm getting back on the road. I'm interested in the aftermarket emblems. Where did you get them.

James I was only needing the false tank HONDA side emblems and found the correct size from a Thailand seller on EBay. They have the correct look and are the right length, yet no pins on the backside to mount through the shelter like the OEM ones. They use two sided tape and two holes to screw into the shelter to mount. I believe I used the same style on my GL1000 restoration a few years ago and they looked fine and like OEM.
I will look for the seller contact info, as there are a couple of sellers on there and only one seems to have the correct length of HONDA logo.

I got mine from here
https://goldwing.nl/en/. The emblems have the pins to get the correct position and are fixed with (very) sticky tape. No problems so far, but I don't ride (my GL) in the rain.

This is who I used in Thailand and the listing is eBay item number:380866248309. It was $20US for the set plus $18US for shipping to Canada.

I like the ebay seller, they have some nice parts. I have saved the UK seller. It is expensive to ship to the US. THX for the tips.

So it appears I am a dufus. Can't locate the seller or the item by using the item number?
