Helga Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I recently spotted an R1100RT out on the road with a BMW emblem on the back fender just below the license plate. It looks like this is a metal emblem that is screwed in place directly on the fender. I must have one of these!!! I have looked everywhere and have not been able to find one. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these? Link to comment
kruuuzn Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yep, I bought mine online from BMW Santa Cruz back in the middle of '05. It looks much better than the two original empty holes that were in the fender. I think I read somewhere the holes were for a european license plate (but don't quote me on that). Good luck!

Tank Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I just happened to have Bob's BMW catalog(1-800-269-2627) next to me and they carry them also.... no affileation, just have used them with good results. Link to comment
Tony_K Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 the holes were for a european license plate Yup. Some of our European brethren have HUMONGOUS tags on the back of their bikes. Makes putting on a fender elimination kit on the back of your sport bike kind of difficut. I hear on the Brits bikes it's often times not necessary to use much brake as the giant tag has so much wind resistance. Kinda like a parachute. Link to comment
moshe_levy Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 See http://www.mklsportster.com/r1150r/r1150rlogo.jpg THis is an example, as there are a few types of logos available. The picture shows 0-51-14-2-328-269 3D BMW Roundel Emblem installed on Bob's Fender Logo Plate, on my GF's 2004 R1150R. -MKL Link to comment
Jerry Johnston Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 The emblem you show looks like it's off the tank of an older Airhead. Link to comment

99Roadster Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I think this is what you're looking for. Scroll down for the emblems. Link to comment

Sidmariner Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I put the same thing on all three of my bikes. I bought the stainles steel backing plates from Bob's BMW along with the same sized tank badges. Later, I found out the BMW of Santa Cruz sells the backing plate made of plastic. You can fashion your own with some replacement tank badges and a couple of slices of hard nylon round stock. Your local plastics supplier carries the stuff in various circumferences and can cut you a few disks. They will be white, but who can tell behind the badge right? Link to comment
Laura Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 From the BMW Santa Cruz booth at the rally in Vermont this past July. Looks great on the bike, nice quality. It's on their website, you can buy on-line. Link to comment
