Default Why??

I understand a great repaint job. Why would anyone not put the Harley logo back on the tank after repainting it?

A lot of people just think it makes the bike look cleaner, the same as when you shave all the emblems off of a car that you customized.

Default RE: Why??

Why would you even ask this? You probably already knew of several possible answers, if you thought about it for a couple seconds.

Cleaner looks.
Protest (like wearing upside down HD wings on a jacket).
Too cheap to buy another decal.
Too lazy to do the work.
Just don't give a flip.
Etc, ad nauseum.
