tank badges
And does anyone have a color code or insight into the red to be used?
Thanks for any help you can lend.

thanks for that page of info...still not sure from that whether the letters were black or red (have seen them both way), although it appears clear that the ball around the arrow was red.
Any suggestions as to the color of that red though? Was it the same as the tin paint?
Thanks for the quick response.
Best regards,
Joel

According to Greg Field the letters and background were both red, but I have no paintnumber.

The harley badges have the word "ACME" on the backside, in raised lettering. They also have a harley part number which I can't remember, but it ends in -59. They're also heavier.

HD part # 61775-59T Set name plates '59-'60

The -59T badges are not original, but are the Eagle Iron variety.
I think the Eagle Iron line of parts came out in 95, and that's where H-D started offering their own line of re-pop parts.
