Is there a particular technique to removing all of the chrome "Kawasaki" plastic sticker badges?

Heat them with a hair dryer to loosen the glue, then use dental floss to scrape them off.

Heat and floss work.  Bike looks SOOO much better without those badges.

A little off topic, but does anyone know where to get the black plastic dash pieces redone in faux carbon fiber? I was hoping to send them out to a shop that does this. I have seen pix of this done on a bike on this site, but no one responds. It looks awesome, and gets rid of the dull black plastic dash surround. Thanks

Agreed! I just used heat and peeled them off with my fingers. It was a bit of work but well worth it.

They are fairly soft, I took all mine off with just prying with fingernails and pulling with gentle constant pressure, leaves no residue that way.
