Trek headbadge ('80s)?

Anyone know where I could pick one of these up? I have an '86 Trek 500 Tri series frame that my brother gave to me as a (franken)bike. He bought it as frame only and it had been repainted in a nice dark metallic blue Imron (nice paint job). It is sans decals/headbadge and I was thinking about rectifying that. I don't want a decal headbadge. Did some searches but didn't come up with anything other than watch ebay. Or find a trashed donor frame.

Thanks,
Chris

funny, I also have 86 trek tri that I picked up sans headbadge. There was no evidence of damage to the frame so I am thinking it fell off (maybe a bad batch of glue)? I watched ebay for awhile looking for another, not very common and good examples get bid up. I finally just slapped the 10 dollar velocal on there and must say it looks good.

I don't know what the '88 should look like. Mine looks like the one below, I believe. I'll confirm this evening.

So, Lloyd, any tips for keeping a Trek head badge fixed to the head tube?

Mine sure as hell won't stay on. I've tried carpet tape, mastic, silicone, nothing sems to work.

Try 3M automobile trim adhesive, I have used it with success.

My wifes 84 610 looks like that one. I think 88 had a T on silver background.

That badge is an exact match to my '85 460.

The 86 badge is a little smaller.
