Default Do de-badge or not?

Hummm i'm wondering whether i should remove the Honda and "600f4i" stickers on my yellow '06. Think it'd make a cleaner look?

I vote leave them on.

But do what you like. It's your ride, brotha.

Here is my 2001 with the stickers off, just so you get an idea. I didnt realize the wings were silver stickers and the actual plastics were black until I peeled everything off. Now I kind of want to do the whole thing silver. Also, if you do decide to peel, use a blow dryer to melt the glue on the decals and peel really slowly an inch at a time. It is a little tedious, but it is easier than ripping the decals to shreds and trying to pull off tiny little pieces.

^ Not bad, not bad.

But you have the wing on the tank to deal with. Not as easy as heat gun and peel.

I just photoshopped the wing and the 600f4i sticker on the tail off. Also photoshopped in a titanium exhaust and removed the huge stock license plate holder.

I took the honda above the taillight the f4i on the tail and the cbr off on the intakes. A bic lighter as a scraper actually works really well and doesnt scratch. One small problem with the Honda on the tank is the tank stickers are generally under the clear. Meaning you will have the sticker outline left in a divot so you might as well leave it.
