Round CSC Badge - Size
I'm wondering of someone can do me a favor and measure the size of the round CSC badges on the size of the bike for me? This would be for a 2016 RX3. Thanks a bunch.
If you are wondering why, I was thinking of putting something like the 'punisher' over them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Punisher-Bat...KkKbPg&vxp=mtr Thanks all!

I like the dragon, too.
But decided to put on the manufacturer's badge instead....like all my other bikes. jb

Nice, JB. Where did you get them?
Not that I want to deny Steve & CSC their due credit for bringing out beloved RX3's in to the USA, let alone getting them Kalifornia certified! |

Spud pointed the way to the Zongshen badges on Taobao. With the assistance of Spud's tutorial on using Taobao, and a weekend of time (I'm a slow learner), I was able to configure my browser to translate Chinese into English, set up a Taobao agent account, place an order, and transfer funds via PayPal. I think I would need to relearn the whole process over again if I were to order again. AliExpress is easier to order from, but was unable to find the badges there. jb

No custom paint color. It was taken at dusk in the shadow of my back porch. The bike is the standard '15 orange and gray....as seen in full daylight. jb

Update:
I had some time to go to a wi-fi connection and mess around on my laptop. Configured the Chrome browser for Chinese. Found the Taobao and TaobaoTrends websites. Was able to retrieve my account info. Located only 1 vendor for the Zongshen badges. It's about 4.50 for a pair, depending on the exchange rate at the time. Then there's the agent fee, plus the shipping charge to the US, which may be as much as the badges. Looks like it will be about $10 US to get a pair, won't know for sure until: an order is placed, the agent is paid, agent orders from vendor agent receives order from vendor agent verifies that order is what the customer wants, agent repackages order and notifies customer of shipping charges to US customer pays agent the shipping charges agent ships package to customer in 10-14 days, if all goes well, customer receives package. To add the the fun, Oct 1 - Oct 7 is the national Chinese Holiday week. From what I was able to discern, nothing much businesswise happens during that time. jb
