Screws for the Badges
I have a R75/5 SWB Year 1972 with the toaster tank and I was wondering what style are the original screws going on the badges of the tank and the rear of the seat..
are they Philips or Slot Drive type?
Thanks for helping..

Ian Falloon's book shows a
07 11 9 901 703--screw emblem /5 4x.7x12 ss
Don't try and get the slots to align up as this may put too much pressure on the badge and thus damaging it.

slotted screws also for the seat badge?
is it the same also for the badge on the back of the seat?
Ian Falloon's book shows a picture of a '71 tanks with slotted screws. Vech shows the following on his website:
07 11 9 901 703--screw emblem /5 4x.7x12 ss

Ian's book seems to show
http://www.bmwhucky.com/007552.html
seems to suggest slotted screws. But Hucky's page is not necessarily stock/original.

seat badge
is Ian's the 'must-have' book?
Ian's book seems to show Phillips screw heads in the one picture. However, BMW Hucky's page:

seems to suggest slotted screws. But Hucky's page is not necessarily stock/original.

Not sure if Ian's book is
Then there is the Andy Schwietzer book titled "BMW Motor Cycle from 1969 to 1985: Boxer from /5 - Volume 1 All Airheads with Twin Shocks". Not as many close up shots, but still quite good. I don't see it on Amazon, though.

Re: Screws for the Badges
I can well imagine hand installation of the badges after a tank has been painted and pinstriped being done by a careful skilled pair of hands.
Then again, I could be full of it, lol, St.
