Default RE: Removing tank badge

Can I have them once removed? I'd like to put them on my tank so people stop calling it a Shadow.

I got mine off with a large flathead and a small blow torch!


fishing line or floss is the best way.

I just used my fingers to pull it off and then used some 3M adhesive remover to finish the job.
+1 Just pull away from the tank and be careful it doesn't bend back on itself into your paint.

Ditto on the hair dryer and goo gone.......This is the method I have used on car badges.

Fishing line from both edges into the center. If you go from one end to the other the last end might dig into the paint.

I'm confused. Are we talking about a "Badge" ala RKC or a decal ala the standard RK. If it's the standard RK, you can forget it unless you are willing to have the tank refinished. If it's the badge I agree with the others. I used fishing line and denatured akcohol.

Dental floss and goo remover are the safest bet. Did it on my truck to take all the advertising off. The picture has nothing to do with this post, it's my wife's girlfriend picking her bike up after dropping it on her first day.

I want to remove the badge...heat with heat gun? dont want to damage paint
I took mine off this summer. Great minds think alike! Depending on the temp, you might want to heat it up a bit with a hair dryer. I used dental floss, Goo Gone and WD40. No scratches.
