I'm really liking the Arrow exhaust for my 696 but cannot stand the look of their logo/badge on the cans.  Has anyone tried to remove them?  Looking at a set at my local shop it looks like the logo is riveted so I'm not sure how easy it would be...

not removed, but a link to a blacked out badge.

Thanks!  The blacked out logo looks better, just like the new Arrow 'dark' line.  I'd still prefer to remove the logo if it's possible.

He never said what he did to remove the paint from the logo.  Does anyone know a good way?  With my luck, I'd F* up the carbon fiber before I got my Arrow badge looking that good.

If I remember correctly, he had already sold his white 696.

Can you not just drill the rivets out and replace them with some black ones or something?

I am 90% positive that all you have to do is drill out the rivets and it will come right off --- i am going to do this, just hasn't been a huge priority.

If you haven't drilled rivets it is VERY easy.  If you can pick your nose you can drill out and re-rivet something.  I was nervouse about taking off my endcaps as i had never worked that much with CF - it was seriously no problem at all.

I am considering (1) taking it off and then filling the two holes with two black rivets; (2) painting the whole thing black, or (3) started to wonder if I could make the yellow black and the blue white (i have a black and white S2R1000). 

Honestly will probably go with #1.  I absolutely HATE the way it looks on the bike.  The only saving grace is that it matches my stock rear shock.

If you drill before i do let me know if you encounter any adhesive or other challenges.  Good luck.

Ditto!

yes you can simply drill the rivets out and put new rivets back in, or a custom plate. I just used a sharpie and made them black. You could barely tell they were there.
