Tank Badges

I have an '08 T100 with manufacture date 11/07 with glued on badges. I understand that some 08 Bonnevilles regardless of the fact the badges were glued on still have the mounting holes underneath. I'm wanting to put "Classic" badges on but I'm unsure if my tank would fall under this scenario. Would anyone happen to know at which point in the vin this change took place? Also, anyone with a T100 paint scheme have the classic badges and can share photos?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Which badge do you mean by "classic"
I have pics of the "harmonica" type.

Classic Badges

Classic badges, aka harmonica type badges, aka garden gate badges... they're all the same.

Unfortunately, these are no longer available from Triumph.

look inside your tank with a "flashlight" and see if you can see where the screws would go in. there's a bunch of pictures/treads on this somewhere. you might need a small shop mirror.

Most manufacturers. especially car manufacturers, stop producing accessories for models when they stop selling that model. You can buy a bug deflector from Honda for a 2010 Accord, but unless there is still one in the system you won't get one from the dealer for a 2006. Accessories sell well at dealerships when they are added to the new vehicle payments, an extra 15.00 a month for floor mats and other stuff seems cheap and the dealer makes more on the extras than the car.
Anyway, couple of pics. One is of the inside of a tank showing the screw tubes, the others of a the badges you seek on a T100. IMHO they didn't really go, lovely paint and great badges but didn't quite seem to gel. I switched out my tank, kept the badges.

I bought some from Hermy's in December. They didn't have them in stock so I waited a week for them get some in. One week later, they showed up at my house. Unless they've been discontinued in that time, they are still available. In fact: clickarooski & scroll down a bit.

Oh, and Blues, rip those God-forsaken lumps of chrome plastic off of your tank. You'll thank yourself every time you look at your bike.
