First, I heated up the area for a few minutes using a hair dryer. Next, I doubled up a length of dental floss and, using a sawing motion, the emblem came right off. The floss didn't break a single time and I did both sides with the same piece of floss. Finally, I used a plastic putty knife to scrape off as much glue as I could, then I followed that with Goo Gone for the residual glue. It worked like a charm. For decals, I heated the decal with a hair dryer, pryed up one corner enough to grab the decal with my fingers, then slowly removed the decal. No problems.   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #28460 WhiteStarNC (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 426 Re:safely removing emblems 4 Years, 12 Months ago   Doc - Waxed Floss?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Years, 9 Months ago   Thread necromancy!! Okay: So the heat gun/fishing line/dental floss trick works with the tank emblems and the side cover emblems, and both sets are held in place with double-sided tape? Am I understanding this correctly?   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110932 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3123 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Years, 9 Months ago   yep... remember to drag the line on the tank side of the tape ie.. close to the tank...less tape residue left behind   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/21 12:26 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star MY WEBSITE HOG HEAVEN Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #110934 n2dwoodz (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 133 Re:safely removing emblems 3 Years, 9 Months ago   I've been thinking about taking my emblems off and having a desing put on the tank sides. After talking to a couple of guys, one fellow that does pinstriping said if i haven't got a firm idea on what I want, and/or don't wnat to spend $800 to paint the inserts and reseal, I should find a design (see below for flaming 8 ball), take it to one of these companies that dowindow graphics, and they'll do the whole deal for a little bit more than nothing. Sent the design, and they said they could do both sides for approx. $30; $40 if I wanted them to apply them to the tank. Plus, they said you not only can remove them anytime, they're not thick, and look like paint... anybody out there tried this?   Logged     N2DWOODZ   The administrator has disabled public write access.
