They are rare if you dont have one

I think the last one I found was $80- new OEM.

Perfect, thank you Shawn. I think the oem one I have coming has a slight arch to it and needed to know before i cast my mold. i will make sure the pattern piece (the oem one) is flat as a pancake before casting.
How did your adhesive work out ???

it stuck, but i haven't rode the trike yet. should take it out this sat. want to see how it holds up to heat. should work fine, as the temp sticks use 3m tape to stay on. i've had one of those on my lt500 for 3 years now.

used 3m double sided tape. works good. tried a piece on some aluminum, couldn't pull it off, had to use a razor blade.

heres a pic of my repro kips badge on my cylinder.

Good research on the tape and NICE job on the badge ! Hope mine look that good Shawn.
