Swordsman--what are those Pegasus logos on your tank? Are they raised emblems or flat decals?

Man, are those things made out of old Chevrolet big-block pistons? Yikes!

good idea.bigger,and spreads the impact load over a larger area.
not sure on the piston look,but a good idea that can use a bit of refinement.

I was just curious... it's an interesting look. I'm all for "original". They look too good to be home made. I guess I could actually PM him and find out.

Zatco, my Pegasus emblems are flat, not rasied. Got them made by fastdecals.com, matte black center with metallic silver outlines.

i would think those things would get ripped right off in any forward motion bike on its side kind of mishap.

+1 they look like they would snag and cause more frame damage then the plastic ones as well as possibly flip the bike in a crash causing further damage.

Oh and they're ugly ; )

it does give clearance for the fairing bracket, those tend to snap like twigs

Kinda makes me want to go buy some super glue and just start sticking things to my bike.........NOT!!
Hammered dogshit is how I would describe those ugly things.Pull them off and sling them down the road.
