Golden flash tank badges
« on: 10.12. 2007 14:02 »
Hey does anyone know where I can buy new plunger golden flash tank badges. They are the winged type with a circle with lightning bolt in it and BSA Golden flash on them. I can get the type without the words golden flash. thanks

To give you hope, I have seen them for sale before (think it was ebay, and I nearly bought them to have a spare set).

Yes, these special parts are hard to come by, patience is needed. Maybe someone in England can do you the favor of looking around while visiting any of the jumbles:

Hello,

I found a fair looking pair being auctioned on a Swedish auction-site, the current price is 260 SEK (est 41 USD) for the  pair, the auction stops the 28th of January.

Tradera is a subsidiary to eBay, so you might find them through eBay as well.

Thanks for that but I cant understand the language, unless someone buys them for me that understands and I pay by PAYPAL to their email. They look good. regards Terry

Hi, maybe Nitti will help, or I can do it for you. Let's organize it so we do not end up overbidding each other!

Hello,
of course I can help !

How much are you willing to pay, purchase-price + domestic shipping to me (est 5 USD).
Since I do not know your address it is difficult to estimate the shipping cost to you from me, if I win the auction, but if you are across the Atlantic, it could be about 12 USD !

Hi, sorry but I havent checked this site for a bit. Im in Australia I guess its all over now thanks anyway. I have a great set of home made badges from a talented man but I would still be interested in other badges for another bike. regards Terry

Terry,

I'm glad that you found some local badges. The auction stopped at about 100 Austrailian Dollars, plus shipping. I guess that you have ended up paying about 130 dollars for the Swedoish ones, a bit costly I think.
