Yamaha AT1-CT1 Tank Badges

[crusader]

Hey...I've got an old Yamaha tank...I believe it to be a AT1 or CT1 tank. Too small to be a DT1 as I originally thought it was.

I'm looking for badges...but I bought some on eBay but but they were too long....

On the tank, From hole to hole it appears that it should be about 3.75 inches. Does anyone know where I can find a pair of badges?

Here is the tank.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most of the Yamaha two strokes from the late '60s used that badge, so don't be too fixated on the AT1-CT1. I had a '69 YR2C that had the same badge.

If you are crafty, you should be able to make your own with that pour-able liquid lucite stuff. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&ke...=aps&hvadid=3527575596&ref=pd_sl_9h2xwqjd1j_b
Tap Plastics sells it too.

I find what you state to be quite accurate. They were smaller than the DT1 badges..which is what I need. Thanks!

Probably too late for the OP, but others might be interested. Made these from some 1/4" clear acrylic:



Cut to size, round over edges, mask the back, cut out the "YAMAHA" letters, spray silver on back for letters, remove the masking and spray back w/black paint. $5.00

Nice...and reasonably priced as well. Thanks.

It is on my 1978 Yamaha SR500 custom bike.

Wow again. I'm generally not a cafe guy, but great setup on your SR. I've had two '78s - a black one back in the day with all the period mods, and a virtually perfect virgin red one about five years ago that I bought out of Pennsylvania with the intention of replicating my old bike. Decided it was too nice to mod, so I didn't :laughing

What are the swingarm and forks off of? Very, very nice!

Obviously I don't look at BARF very often. If you are still looking for more information about the swingarm or anything else about my SR, please PM me.
