I would not use these emblems... I purchased the same exact ones and they look very nice in the image and in person. Unfortunately after having installed them the blue color has almost completely faded into a chrome in less than 2 months.
May be difficult to tell from this photo because again, they have faded into a Chrome and it is picking up reflection from the paint but the blue is almost completely gone.
Im looking into some resin coated ones and will try to update everyone on what i find.
Hope this helps

@joneal8383 I got an update for you!
Man... this has had some trial and error forsure 🤣 So the paint that I ordered is from scratcheshappen.com, it is color matched for the R7 and it looks great! Highly recommend if anyone needs it for touch ups for any scratches. Unfortunately the only experience I have with paint is with a roller, painting walls.
I found from my experience the paint really needs to be put on pretty heavy with the initial application or it comes out looking very streaky on the emblems. It's difficult because with so much paint on this tiny brush and fine lines on the Yamaha logo its easy for the paint to bleed off in places you dont want it to go.
After a few attempts I've got a result I'm happy with but they're not finished. I still need to put on the clear coat to protect the paint (scratcheshappen.com says for the paint to be truly color matched the clear coat has to be applied) but I thought I would post some photos of the progress.

Painting some more since I ordered extra emblems. Ordered some 50mm silicone molds to do some runs with the Epoxy over it.
The Emblem on the bottom Right is unpainted and has the factory "Blue Chrome" nice reference to how the paint looks in comparison.

Here is a comparison photo of the Emblem on my bike which shows how faded that "Blue Chrome" got after only a couple of months next to a Emblem I painted my self.
