Title: Left hand crankcase badge
Post by: total rebuild on October 24, 2008, 03:50:13 PM
Anybody any ideas where I can get the Suzuki badge that goes on the left hand crank case. When bike was nicked it was ripped off. PS. UK source would be best. Ta

If you're really keen to replace the sticker, your best bet is probably through your local dealer:

It's expensive for a sticker, but probably less of a hassle than trying to track one down third party... unless e-bay has something similar?

I agree. That's the kind of thing you're only going to be able to get from a place that sells OEM stuff. You could probably find one in a junk yard, but it'd be attached to some other bike. I guess you could try prying one off a junkyard bike and gluing it to your bike, but just buying one from a dealer would be way less headache.

i got a set from bikebandit over the summer. they were reasonably priced. don't get used ones b/c the emblem is just a big sticker. you'll never get a used one to stay on properly

I watched one go for over 30 bucks on ebay. Yeah I bought 2 frome babbitts which seemed to have the best price.
