Pick at the corner with your finger nails enough to insert a flat scraper and keep it on the emblem side as you bend and pull the emblems away from the tank leaving most of the double sided tape on the tank side.A little goo be gone and maybe some wax or polish and the tank really stands out.I put some chrome flames decals instead. Imagine if the dealers offered emblems or no emblems? That would be great!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112553 slezy (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 692 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Months, 1 Week ago   theconfessor   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112555 collector714 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 426 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Months, 1 Week ago   welcome to the clinic..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112556 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2757 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Months, 1 Week ago   theconfessor wrote: Remove the emblems, did it on my hot rods all the time.

Imagine if the dealers offered emblems or no emblems? That would be great! If you use a scraper ya want to be on the emblem side and away from the paint on the tank..ouch Using fishing line or dental floss and a sawing motion with heat from a hair dryer... you can get on the tank side of the double sided tape with out harming the paint and no danger of bending the emblem..and most of the double sided tape comes off with the emblem the cleanup is so much easier with goo gone if the double side tape does not stay on the tank... then ya can peel the tape of the emblem for use later..with new auto moulding tape...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/26 10:58 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112615 Frank_W (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1368 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Months ago   Also, be judicious with the heat. I was using the hair dryer on the rear fender to lift that horrid Yamaha decal, and ended up with a haze to the clear coat. It's probably not noticeable to anyone else, but I can see it, and I'm not real happy about it, but that's the way it goes, I guess.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #112623 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2757 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Months ago   Gunhead wrote: Also, be judicious with the heat.

Good caveat..although removal of advertising decals on the sides of vehicles ..the standard procedure is to use heat..but watch out ..dont torch the paint...   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #112627 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

No damage to paint.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
