Can I use the 1966-68 style badges on my 2007 Bonnie as is, or will there be some mods required?

Well, as no one else has taken a stab...

As I see it the likelihood that they will fit straight on is very remote. It is extremely unlikely the tank shape will be the same, let alone the mounts.

I think if you wait a while though, the custom part people might bring out something to your taste that would fit straight on. The logo would be the modern one of course.

HTH
