I just received and installed a new versionof this badge with coating on it. In my opinion it looks better quality than the stock one (stock is just plastic, this is coated metal). I was concerned how difficult it may be to remove the old one, but it was very easy. I used a small screwdriver and slowly pried it open from the top right corner. I was able to remove it without scratching it. In addition, old emblem removed cleanly and all stock tape was left intact so I just reused it for new emblem. It is perfect! I wish there can be more of these for some other areas of the bike!
Thank you for beautiful part!
Sorry for dark pictures, I just took them in my garage.
