Hi Grant,
I came to the same conclusion about the emblem after looking through various catalogs & contacting numerous vendors overseas - they just weren't remade by anyone. I may have a lead on a good used one, but it's currently on a very rusted-out 750 Berlina that the owner is undecided about what he wants to do with (to restore or not). So far, this gent is my
only lead (source), so I'm obviously wanting to keep on him about it.
Yes, it
is very similar to searching for the OT Spider front "whisker" text emblems, though I've actually been able to find those before! LOL.
Good luck on getting that 850TC wheel.
Cheers,
-Jeff.
