#58784 cp_dave (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Gas Tank Logo - (How to remove?) 12 Months ago   Hello, all. I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I ride a 2001 Midnight Roadstar. Been riding 21 years (mostly sport bikes), but prefer the look, feel and style of a classic cruiser. Just bought this one used and love the Roadstar model. My question is, "How can I remove the Roadstar logo plates from the gas tank without messing up the paint?" Can this be done? I would like to have a clean appearance to that midnight black and chrome look. Any suggestions? Thanks. -David   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/01/14 09:35 By cp_dave.

I used GOOF OFF from home depot along with a heat gun and fishing line. A Halogen work light will also work instead of the heat gun. Use only as little heat as will make the adheasive stickey. It still takes a little to pull the line behind the emblem but go slow and it will come off without damage to the tank or emblem. The adhesive will come off the tank with elbow grease and goof off in that order. Good luck and welcome again Dearman   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #58790 cp_dave (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Re:Gas Tank Logo - (How to remove?) 12 Months ago   Thanks.

Well, I guess that would depend on what type of fishing line you used huh?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #58840 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner.

WD-40 will also take the glue off.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #58857 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3162 Re:Gas Tank Logo - (How to remove?) 12 Months ago   Another Midnight Star yes you'll love it. All the above mentioned methods work well and the bike looks great with all the emblems off.

Junior Boarder Posts: 123 Re:Gas Tank Logo - (How to remove?) 12 Months ago   Hey cp dave, I used the dental floss and goof off to remove the logos from my bike. Worked perfect, just took a while because like you, I didn't want to scratch up the tank. I didn't use any heat during the process.

Heat it up and it will slide right off. Just my two cents.   Logged     Call of the wild! Warrior Girl!   The administrator has disabled public write access.
