Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

I was just thinking that Don was cheapin out by not opting for emblems if he didn't have to. He would however add his name anywhere he could! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

You'll have to remind me Joey, but are these badges roughly the same size as the engine call outs? Or bigger/smaller??

Funny you should ask... I wondered that myself and just went out to check... Turns out they are darn near identical in size to a "350" fender badge.. and they affix with 2 sided tape, just like the Yenko badges for 70. Incidently, they were also packaged in a clear baggie with 2 badges per baggie. So are ya startin' to feel what I'm layin' down? Yenko issued LT-1 badges, packaged 2 per bag, and identical in size to the factory 350 callouts that Don probably wasn't expecting to be there...hmmm.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

Sounds logical to me, and that's the best reason I've heard so far.

Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

...and btw, I've never "hawked", sold or traded one of these ever, or even attempted to. I think I have 6 of 'em in my collection, all with similar stories behind them, linking them to Yenko/Deuces. I just thought they were an intriguing part of Yenko history that not many seem to know anything about, and might appriciate seeing once every 4 years or so.

Actually, I have the only correct LT/1 hood stripe application on my SF deuce. Everyone elses is wrong. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

See? The original Deuce owners are already starting to wake up and take notice... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Post up some pics of that backwards striped Deuce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

Neat story behind the emblems but Don sure could have tried a little harder to make them stand out. I think those would have been great with a much larger "LT-1" chrome letter. They almost look home made. I think your reasoning behind why they were made and never installed is a likely one.

Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

Sorry, didn't mean 'hawked' in the sense of trying to sell 'em, but that we've been kickin around with them trying to figure out the application! I know you've never tried to sell 'em, 'cause I would've bought a pair! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

One story I heard a looong time ago was that they were a motion item for the vegas, but that didn't quite make sense when we found out that a set was found in the glovebox of a Deuce.

I think the fender application sounds quite plausible. Are they in the parts catalog?

No, but I do know there were a few dozen sets produced (at least)

Re: Yenko Emblems?
 

Definitely cool stuff....even for us non Deuce owners https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
