Hey fellow riders,

I’ve been looking to enhance the look of my Harley Davidson, and I’m particularly interested in finding a Tour Pack emblem that complements my bike’s style. I’ve come across some options online, but I’m unsure which ones are worth it. Here’s what I’m hoping to discuss:

Emblem Options

  • New vs Used: Are there reputable sellers for both new and used emblems? What’s the difference in quality and durability?
  • Design Variations: I’ve noticed that there are different designs available. Which ones have you guys found to be most visually appealing?
  • Customization: Have any of you customized your emblems? I’m interested in hearing about any DIY projects or unique designs you’ve worked on.

Installation and Removal

  • Easy Installation Tips: If I get a new emblem, what’s the best way to install it? Any specific tools I should have ready?
  • Removal: For those who have removed emblems before, what’s the easiest way to do it without damaging the tour pack?

General Advice

Lastly, I would appreciate any advice on maintaining the emblem once it’s installed. Are there certain products you guys recommend for keeping it looking new?

Thanks in advance for any insights, and I can’t wait to see what you’ve all done with your bikes!

I’m also on the hunt for tour pack emblems! I’ve seen some great OEM options, but I wonder if any aftermarket emblems really stand out. Thoughts?

Hey, Ashley! OEM emblems are always a safe bet for compatibility and quality, but aftermarket options can be more unique. Have you checked out websites like J&P Cycles or RevZilla?

That’s good to know! It’s just that I love adding my personal touch. Can anyone recommend some quirky aftermarket emblems?

5

Aftermarket emblems can be fun! Brands like H-D Custom and Kuryakyn have some cool styles. Just make sure they fit your specific model year before purchasing.

6

Thanks for the tip! Is it true that some aftermarket options have issues with quality? I’d hate to replace them often.

Quality can indeed vary in aftermarket parts. It’s crucial to read reviews before buying. Some emblems look great but don’t hold up well, especially in harsh weather.

I’ve found that some people prefer the classic look of OEM over flashy aftermarket emblems. It really comes down to your style and what suits your bike best!

True! But can a flashy emblem ever go well with a classic bike’s aesthetics, or is that a recipe for disaster?

10

A little flash can be fun! Just be careful not to overdo it. You want to maintain that classic vibe while showing some personality.

11

Exactly! I’m thinking about combining some vintage badges with a modern emblem. Any thoughts on that combo?

Does anyone have experience with DIY emblem customization? I’d love to add my own twist, but I’m hesitant about it turning out poorly.

DIY can be hit or miss! If you’re handy, it could be worth it. Just ensure you have high-quality materials, or it could look, well… not great. Proceed with caution!

15

Good point! Last thing I want is an emblem that looks like it was made in kindergarten. But I’m curious, what’s gone wrong for others?

16

I’ve seen some DIY attempts turn weird real quick! One guy had a checkered pattern that just looked like a bad mistake. Stick to simple designs if you go that route!

17

Yikes! That’s quite the cautionary tale. I think I’ll just shop around and keep it classic. Anyone else have insights before I decide?

I recommend using a heat gun for surface preparation. Make sure the area is clean and dry before applying the adhesive. It helps in getting a smoother finish!

19

That’s a great tip! I’ve also found that double-sided tape works well if you’re cautious about permanent adhesives. Have you tried that?

For installation, I’d suggest using a panel removal tool. It makes it easier to prep the area without damaging the paint. Plus, it keeps things neat!
