Re:tank emblem removal tips? 11 Months ago
i removed my star tank badge by heating it up with my blow dryer, then used a fishing line to separate the badge from the tank putting most of the cutting pressure toward the badge/away from the tank. it came off easier than i thought it would. i removed the adhesive residue with my blowdryer and finger nails. the tank is now smoother than a baby's butt.

Re:tank emblem removal tips? 11 Months ago

I just had my tank painted and watched as the guy took my enblems off... He had very light small gauge steel guitar string about 2 feet long wrapped around to wooden handles. He put some light pressure against the tank and pulled hard with slow sawing motion... emblems game off in less than 5 seconds each with barely and residue left on the tank... very impressive!

I'm now debating whether or not to put them back on... Kinda like the look of just the tank.. had flames painted on....

A hair dryer and my figures. They just popped right off after heating. I guess I'm impatient I do like the fishing line/dental floss idea though.

If the tanks not empty, I’m not lost…

I don't know why people would want to get rid of them. My bike doesn't have them and I've been looking for a set.

I used what I had available and since I'm a amateur musician the guitar string (high E) worked super easy. Just sawed lightly back & forth and it popped off. The leftover adhesive came off with my fingers using a rolling movement. Thanks to everybody who posted
