I bought a pair from Ray, too. $55, inc screws? I couldn't pass that up! If Ray's source could just get the word Dream a touch clearer......

My second tank is fitted with a pair of Martijn Elserman's emblems, from Holland. His silver-inlaid type is just beautiful, but I ordered a pair with pale gold inlays. Ray's gold colour is slightly better, where Martijn's displays a more 'period' patina.

The Dutch pair cost me €185, plus postage.

Pays your money, takes your choice.

Rays are more in line with my budget and they appear to be a nice product from the photo's I have seen.Joe

It's a no-brainer really, Joe; €185 = $256! And Ray's are pretty damned good; how many of us actually 'show' our machines? Martijn's silver emblems look fantastic but still ain't show, owing to the colour. Ray's gold is better than Martijn's, but his mould (mold to you guys) needs 'fine-tuning', although those of you whose emblems are "Honda 250" or "Honda 300" won't be affected on this minor flaw. And, frankly, Martijn's don't actually look like $200 more.

BTW, have you seen the shite Asian ones on eBay? The gold is almost orange!

Pics below, as titled. Sorry about the crap resolution on the OEM!

Just an additional photo for those wanting to compare Ray's to an original...closeup. The color of the photograph is not perfect as Ray's is golder than is shown but you can see the fading in the original.
