The geniuses masked off the label and didn't blast it. They dont chemically strip them in the place I take it to.
I actually saw the frame blasted ... and didn't stike me to remove it then either ...

They cooked it and the label disappeared.

Cool.

If you really want to remove it .. Then drill bit that's about the same size as the rivet heads .. Med/slow speed on drill ... Take the heads off .. Carefully lever the plate up and centre punch the rivet bodies into the frame... Paint ... Get yourself some aluminium rivets of right size and re-apply!

... If you just don't want to get paint on it while leaving it in place ...Mask it with couple layers of tape while you are prepping/sanding/blasting the frame ... Then either leave the tape on or ... remove ... and a coat of Vaseline or something similar while you shoot the primer and paint ... Then wipe the Vaseline off and you good to go!

That's how me and some buddies approach the problem on cars and trucks anyway 

aye if the reattachment is not done 100% perfect that CAN be problematic with a cop having a bad day.  id suggest the Vaseline tip. ive used that on frames before. works great

I thought the thing was a sticker ... I've never seen riveted ... Even 03 sv has it as a sticker.
