You can get them at any BMW Dealer for your bike but if you want them to stand out and last longer get the emblem from a BMW Cruiser R1200C.
They are the same size but have a 3D effect and look great!
Down side they cost more.

I got a beautiful set of 3D cast roundels for my RT from Bob's BMW. I ordered from an older catalog so ended up paying more than I had wished, but am sure glad I did.
They really have a classic look. I think they ended up being around $30 each. But they sure look great. And, hey, my 30 year old Boxer has earned a sprucing up....

Those 3D plastic badges are OK if you like em but they aren't correct for an Airhead.
Try San Jose BMW and get the real cloisonn?® ones. They aren't that expensive, they'll last forever and they look great!

Uh, the ones I purchased ARE metal and painted. Not sure about their application on the cars. I got a couple of the small roundels (metal) that go on the hub caps for my helmet that are convex and fit over rounded surfaces quite nicely. Not talking about the raised plastic you might be talking about. They are stamped metal and they have different sizes. I think on my RS in all three positions were the 3 ". Just sayin. See what the bike dealer has and compare. Price is less at the car dealer.

I put on the roundels that came from the factory.
Call me boring.
I don't consider that boring at all. I think everyone has their own ideas about what is right and that's cool. If I was a total purist, and going for the most original award on my overhaul last winter, I certainly would go to the factory for those. With my new paint, I thought the badges just added some pop to the whole thing.
