Debadged it

Looks great! I'm not a big fan of all that branding either ...

Guy down the street has a Road King, really nice bike. The first thing he asked me was, “is that a sportster?”. I was mildly offended……

"No, its a Triumph. Is that a Goldwing?"

Having owned two sportsters I can safely say they aren’t in the same zip code with a triumph bonneville.

I looked at my Triumph Bobber and saw a lot of branding on it too almost (no not quite) as much as my Moto Guzzi. It has a TON of emblems, name all over it. I think that manufacture's that are proud of there product like others to know what it is so again I don't mind really! I'd rather not anyone mistake it for a tractor!!!
Funny thing, when looking at my Z900RS Cafe Kawasaki other then the tank badge (which I changed to the retro moniker) it has no other indication it's a Kawasaki. I mean I looked it all over and Nada. Kinda funny but being it's GREEN no one mistakes it for a Honda or Suzuki...or any other brand, but still if I took that tank badge off for the novice would be hard pressed to identify it.

Be thankful more don't say "Hey! is that a ___?" and you don't have to be mildly offended..or any other kind of offense!!

I’ve always debadged all my bikes, cars, trucks. It’s not that I’m not proud of the heritage, it’s just that I like a cleaner, simple look. I have a Silverado daily driver and I took all the emblems off that too.
