Yeah, it's just held on with a light glue.  I slipped a razor blade under the edge and just carefully worked it around until it popped free.  I used a little silicone sealant to reattach, that way I could always pull it back off if I ever needed to and there'd be no damage.

I just took the stock one off, flipped it over and painted it semi-gloss black.  Stuck it back on and I thought it looked great.  Total cost, free with an old can of spray paint I had laying around.  Total time, about an hour for the paint to dry.

How is it stuck on?  Is it glued?

I like that idea.  Think I'll go with that.  Easy and cheap!

I have this one on my 2001 Drifter and love it.  Great quality and prefect fit.

My plaque cover is the only Kawasaki emblem left.  Has anyone bought one of these?

Does it really fit the vn1500?  It's the only one I found like it and it comes all the way from Romania.  Kinda hard to return if it doesn't work out.
