might be the chrome on the badge? if so they're replaceable. if the full thing is chrome then you'll have to drain the oil out of the oil tank via the sump plug (there are 3 sump plugs, 1 is for the oil tank). then undo two very long bolts from above, these hold the oil tank down to the engine, means raising the fuel tank and i cant remember if the throttle bodies need to come off too to get access they probably do. once these 2 bolts are gone you should be able to pull it off, be careful now it can be a struggle and then sudden let go and you could dent it off the chassis or something above. best protect it with thick rags etc. there are 2 little cylinders that connect the oil tank to the engine, and have o-rings on each end. i have pics there if you need them so you picture it in your head before working on it
