There are loads on ebay. Type R red badges would look cool.

oh wow - that would be brill em. ta very much! are you swapping to red H's or something?
i think a hair-dryer usually warms the glue up enough to get it moving - think its just adhesive tape/pads that holds them on. any left over sticky you can get rid of with wd40 or similar.
i thought about the ones on ebay but i wanted to keep the original 2 piece rather than the smooth top and the ebay ones all seem a bit bigger as well.

Ok next question have you worked out which one it is the front or boot? I think my front one doesn't have backing, but the one on the boot does.

hmm, nope! the one i have is 45x55mm and i think the front and rear are different sizes... so i need the one that isnt that size :D

i think it might be the rear that i need? has anyone got a ruler and a honda beat to hand to nip out and check? :p

It's the rear you are missing Mike. Front is 55x45 and the rear is 50x60.

I see that either Front or Rear badge is at a bargain retail price of £17.05. :eek:

Front badge is located by two pegs, and has a loose plastic background retained by the locating pegs.
