Changed mine too.

Nice. This was the badge on my old Tbird. Love to look compared to stock. It's on the mod list, once the T120 is in the garage!

@Baster thank you very much for the write up. Very helpful.

For lack of access to an outlet, I let the bike sit in the sun and removal was made easier

I like the look of the four bar badge too and I wouldn't mind fitting it to my T120 but was four bar badge for the Thunderbird model only back in the old days ?

Why not just fit it if you like it? The new Bonnevilles nod at tradition, but in reality are a totally different beast in every possible way , so it could reasonably be said that that particular horse has long since bolted. But that's just my opinion.:geezer

IMHO Triumph scored platinum continuing the ‘Street’ brand and having the Street Twin designation running alongside the Street Triple, despite the differences between the two bikes.
They’ve revamped the bike and should have revamped the name. I’d have suffixed Street Twin with 1200 and lost the Bonneville name and the T120 moniker to avoid all the irrelevent journo rose tinted comparisons and left the Bonneville name where it belongs. Try finding a review that doesn’t waste column inches going through the inevitable irrelevant cliched comparisons.

TriRocket3 / mrchev...That is a nice looking badge. Do you mean it's from a TBird?? Do you think the screw spacing and the tank curvature is the same as the T120?

Thanks,
Gary

No, dude, permit me to clarify- it’s the same style badge as fitted to a number of Triumph twins in the early 1950s. It’s in the current accessory list for the latest T120/T100 models. I agree with @Baster, the current bikes nod (heavily) to the past in their styling and are something of a blank canvass for owners to choose the look that suits them best.

TriRocket3,...I was refering to your post #16, the photo of your Bobber or Speed master. Is that the stock badge that came on the bike or a Triumph after market badge of some sort? (I was not inquiring about the "four bar" badges.)

Thanks, Gary

I'm guessing that's the same badge that mrchev had on his 2001 T-Bird. TriRocket3 has a Bobber with a T120 tank fitted.C

Yep, I really like that tank badge in post # 16 and 21, too. Don't care much for the four bar badge, personally. I like the T100 badge as well, but its just chromed plastic, and my "cheap, tight wad" side says they're too expensive.

That makes me wonder whether the T100 badges are really the same badges that are fitted to the new Speedmaster.:|

Pudge, When you exam the photos of the T100 and Speedm. on the Triumph website, they appear to share the same tank badge. I' ll have to stop at my dealer some day to see if they have examples.

I like the 4 bar badge, chrome on mine. Also like the way it covers the bottom of the black stripe against the white. Always thought it looked a little weird just stopping in the middle of the tank where it hit the white. The stock badge showed all of that, this one gives it a natural break.

 

[geb]

Knight24,...Did you do the front fender stripe yourself ? Your bike looks great !

 

[Simon64ds]

Agree! That fender stripe is terrific.

I have a 2017 T100, just a question the original badges just unbolt, so easy to line up. Do the four bars bolt on using the same holes to ensure the line up is correct?

If they're made and sold by Triumph and are listed as compatible to the T100, they'll fit.

The four bar tank badges use the same holes in the tank as the OEM badges but they don't bolt into the tank. They are secured with double-side adhesive tape. Underneath the spaces for the "Triumph" logos on the badges there's one peg on each badge that fits into the bolt holes closer to the seat and there are holes in the forward part of the badges that line up with the bolt holes closer to the steering head.

I used a pencil tip to line up the holes in the badges with the forward bolt holes in the tank before I committed to sticking the badges in place on each side of the tank. The "Triumph" logos can then be placed in their respective spaces which covers the locating pegs and the holes. The logos are secured to the tank badges with double-sided tape.

Changed mine too.

Where did you get those badges? I have a T120 and want to switch the stock badges for the ones on the T100. Do you think they will fit? Is that what you are showing here? Thanks!

Yes, I added the fender strips myself, real easy, bought the detail tape on eBay. I got the info from a discussion on here. The white tape matched the white of the tank perfect as did the gold pinstripe.
