Hey guys... don't mean to annoy buy I am going to retro my 77 Bonnie to look like a 60's model.

Are the eyebrow badges shapes the same and have the same screw placement?

I've got the side panels worked out and have ordered some gaiters. The powder coating is sure alot cheaper than chrome plating for sure too on alot of the bits. So, this is another reason I am retro-ing instead of doing a total restore. Pricewise... it's cheaper and to my eyes looks better.

I still have to work out the rear fender and brakelight though..... :???:

Which tank do you have, the UK version or the US version? I do believe the latter came with the eyebrow badges as standard.

Sorry... I guess I shoulda said 66-69 badges.

I have the later 69 and up badges in need of rechroming.

to the best of my knowledge 66-68 "eyebrow badges" will interchange with 69 up badges

i confirm this:66-68 and 69 on have the same curve and holes.you can also find retro side covers to get the old look (which is pretty better)

Thanks Guy!

I got the side covers on order... just wanted to confirm the 66-68's would work before I flipped that kinda change at 'em.
