Default Pics of 1963 Style Tank Emblems On My '09 RKC. Opinions Please??

I thought the '63 tank emblems would look nice on my bike and help give it the sort of "modern vintage" look I want to eventually end up with. What do you guys think of these? I think I like them and think they also help the 6 gal. tank not look so big and bloated.

They look like they belong there and came from the factory that way....

They look very good. I would put them on mine if given a chance.

Those look great

I had the '61 emblems on my 01--but back then it was easy as the pin stripe was way lower on the tank. I have a 2 tone red hot sunglo/smokey gold, and also want the new vintage look---will have to see if my employees can photoshop in the emblem to see if I will do this as well

Thanks guys. BTW, you won't hurt my feelings if you think they look like crap. I haven't fully committed to them yet.

I stuck them to the bike temporarily and Photoshopped out the factory badges. I think I will go ahead and do it for real this week after seeing what it will look like done.

Here's a pre Photoshop pic:
