Quite a few guys remove the emblems on Japanese bikes. Somehow they think they can fool the pulic into thinking it is a HD. I have a friend who did that for that exact reason. Strange but true.

I worked for a couple of dealerships and it was not uncommon to "de-badge" a bike.

In fact, I do it to most of my vehicles, I think it looks better, cleaners.

Best case in point, 2000 Windstar van. Removed the rear "Windstar" and "Sport" and it really looked a lot better IMO - but removing the vinyl side stripes completely changed the van, for the better.

Sometimes less is more, and it is even better when a modification can be done for nothing.
