How to remove HD badging off fuel tank with out damaging paint on tank

Heat gun and gas no no

Thanks to everyone who gave some advice on how to do that but,at this time I am going to hold off for now.

Welcome. I have heard of using a strong fishing line, wrap in around a couple small pieces of wood and use it to slide behind the badge & saw through the adhesive slowly. You may need some GooGone to remove the remaining adhesive residue.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Unless the bike is relatively new or is black, you'll likely regret removing the badge(s), as the surrounding paint will be noticeably faded vs what's protected from UV under the badge. In other words you might find it needs repaint no matter how careful you are in removing the badge?

Just something to ponder...:Shrug:

The idea mentioned of using fishing line or another "soft" non-metallic, like substance, to carefully "saw" it off is going to be your best way without scratching the clear or base paint. Good luck.

Use dental floss in a sawing motion,keep it against the badge and not the tank then use goo gone to remove the remaining tape.

Fishing line and WD-40 for lubricating and dissolving glue.

I used something called Googone. It worked perfectly and made it really easy.
