Tank Emblems 11 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
I searched this topic and found many posts regarding how to remove them but did not find much info on best way to reattach them... My bike is apart being painted and I'm working on how to reattach the two tank emblems. Looks like simple double sided tape used by Yahama... For those who've taken them off and put back on what is the best method?

Thanks,
Rob

You answered your own question 3M double sticky tape. Get the industrial stuff.

2nd on the 3m double stick trim tape its the best stuff you can get,stick it to emblem then wait before you try to peel backing and stick it to the tank,good luck
