if it has been put on with silicone then it will come off all right . ( just the usual de-badging technique of running a line of dental floss behind it will cut the silicone and remove the cover )
But if it is on with Sikaflex then you are screwed it is the gods own nightmare to remove ( having tried to peel off carbon fiber crash protectors on my last bike I know. If it is on with Sikaflex then you will most likely destroy the carbon in the process. give it a go and see what happens .
