Replace Stella Emblems?
Since I needed to remove all three Stella emblems to get the legshield and the two cowls repainted, I have been thinking about replacing the Stella emblems with Harley Davidson logos and tank emblems. Heck, most folks have absolutely no idea what a Stella is, and it always takes a few minutes to explain the bike's pedigree, I thought it would be funny to simply change the brand to one that everyone knows. Do you think Harley owners can take a joke?

The Stella is made by LML in India. In the rest of the world (well, except Canada and the Philippines), it's called the LML Star.
"Stella" is the Latin word for star.

I used to run with some friends when we all had harleys..
then they all moved away and the hogs got heavier on me..
So when I switched to scooters and now run with the scooter gang, I converted my old costume.
Everyone has a good laugh.. been to many rallies in KC, Chicago, Indy, etc... all fun.. no one ever says a cross word..
AND,,, I take some gang members with their scooters to alot of harley events and rides here in town..
Everyone has a good laugh and we all get alone just fine..
No one ever says a cross word...
I say go for it.... and I want to see pictures when it's all said and done..
What color scheme are you going with on your stella??
Good Luck

After my 2012 Stella got dropped (not me), the color scheme stayed the same: Avacado... but the repainted parts are more like an olive green color. I got the body work done cheap so I'm not complaining. Buying Harley emblems is the hard part; they are VERY expensive on eBay. I think I will continue to ride the scooter without emblems until I can find some reasonably priced Harley emblems for sale or until I come across about $150 that I have nothing better to do with and just buy the ones I like. And, yes, when I get the emblems I will post pictures.jimmbomb wrote:I used to run with some friends when we all had harleys, then they all moved away and the hogs got heavier on me..
