My M3 is Artic silver, and I'm thinking about painting the Z50 Arctic with black wheels. I have a couple of old E30 roundels hanging around, and I mentioned to Aimee that they would fit on a K0 tank.

I thought I was being original.

The roundels I have are metal badges, and they're a bit too large, but they'll look excellent on the Z.
I bought mine at our local motorcycle dealer - they are very thin - not like the bigger and more expensive badges - so they fit flush and inside the depression on the tank, and have a VERY aggressive peel and stick adhesive on the back. By depressing the female mounting tangs on the tank they fit great. I've also got a smaller one designed for helmets to put on the back of my seat. I've only got some scotch tape on there currently. I paid $17.00 for all three.

I'm a long way off before I mount them permanently - its probably the LAST thing I'll do.
