Chrome Coming Off Tank Badge

[John Turnbull]

Hey folks, I had a brake fluid mishap that spilled on my tank. I quickly washed off the fluid with no sign of damage so far on the tank finish or engine paint. Same cannot be said for the right side TANK BADGE. The chrome is peeling off? Any suggestions on where to get a new or used badge? A fix of what already is? All info would be appreciated. Thx much folks.

Remove both, fill and paint?
Will look better and be the color of your choice.

I agree with @1olbull for this one, it could be a great opportunity to have a little custom flair on the badges. If you really want the original look though, one can be had from Engle motors in Kansas city.

I would call them and make sure it's the one for your bike. Adam in parts will work with you.

Yes sir brake fluid can and will spoil your day, the tank would look cool without any advertising on it

Hello John and welcome to the site. I would imagine that Triumph Badge is still available from Triumph in Canada. Something that isn't purchased often. The US price is between $43 and $49 bucks. You have several Triumph dealers in your area. Just give them a call but make sure you have the last 6 numbers of your VIN.

Tank badge came in thru local dealer. $48 with tax. Cheap. I’m talking with a custom painter about a future paint job and design
