The badges you show are metal ones painted with enamel and are the ones HONDA replaced the original resin ones that came on the bike. ................lm

HONDA produced the metal ones in 2 sizes.
Large for the 250/305 and smaller for the CA92/95 and to fit other small CC bikes in the 60's. ..............lm
