Well, I went out and did it. Used the hair dryer and peeled them back slowly. The bike seems quality and these plastic badges were bugging me in a "non-quality" way. Took only 5 minutes each side. I took them off a photo of my bike first in photoshop to ease the pain of wondering how it would look. Just looks more blacked out. I can deal with it with no issues. Might paint the skid plate black next......"Might"
If the plastic badges are one of the remaining reasons to buy then I feel bad for Triumph since they feel like they belong from the 99 cents store.
