I'm not sure Z1000 side panel badges were ever metal. Z1 900 yes, but Z1000?

Our selection of replica badges are cast from a casting metal, harder than alloy but still slightly flexible. All metal badges are chromed or gold plated, and painted with two-pack enamels or automotive lacquers. They replicate, as closely as possible, the original factory item in size, shape, color and finish. However, due to slight shrinkage of the metal during the casting process, some badges may not exactly fit the mount points, for both screw mounted and push-in types. Many badges have been modified to take this shrinkage into account, so that they will fit easily without modification
