Rich, Take it off, you know it looks better.

I think it looks much more symmetrical without it on there, and cleaner. plus most people don't even know what it is in the first place.

You've seen mine and I know you liked how clean the back looked without it. I say go for it. Worst case scenario, you buy some tape and reapply it.

I say take it off.

I've read that dental floss is used to take it off.

Ask JCE.

Debadging question

The badge flosses off with fishing line or dental floss, the hair dryer may not even be needed (probably just leave the trunk aimed into the sun for a couple of hours!). WD-40 can be applied to a cotton terry towel to remove the residual glue.

Frank:

I thought you would just superglue an eye bolt to the badge and hook it up to your Mog!

Howdy John,
I may be a dumb Mogger but even I know that won't work. You have to WELD the eye bolt to the badge

Personally, I say leave it.

OTOH, for the most part, I like to keep things OEM...so that's just my opinion. Good luck!
