Yes exactly, thank you. I have just said to me that if I also found those of the tank, the motor bike would be even more beautiful in the American style of the "tourer"

Thanks for the hints. I haven't used the blow dryer, but have used waxed dental floss and Wd 40.. I think the monofilament line might work better so will try it next time..Bob <><

Good thought about not getting the paint too hot - sorry I forgot to include that. WD40 is just as necessary to have around as Duct Tape, works like a charm on all sorts of things!

I've used this technique many times with success on those pesky dealers emblems that some dealers feel a need to stick on autos. The only thing I do differently is to preheat the emblem with the hairdryer before using the fishing line. Preheating also simplifies removing decals and labels. Careful not to get the paint too hot, though.

If you don't have any mineral spirits handy, WD-40 or non-grit type GoJo works great for clean up also.

I didn't see any tips on removing emblems, so thought I would share our quick tip when John and I want to remove emblems from tanks...

Take a length of fishing line, tie each end around a wrench (you'll be holding on to the wrench instead of the line so you don't hurt your fingers when pulling the line). Use a sawing motion (pulling towards yourself) to get under the edge of the emblem with the fishing line, and slowly make your way all the way to the end of the emblem....
