Here's how to remove emblems and reflectors without doing any damage to paint or chrome.
Removing the Tank Emblem
2003 - 100th Anniversary Harley
Tools:Waxed Dental Floss, tape, 3M Remover, gloves (garden), cotton helmet wipe, rag (old diaper pictured)
Washed Area Around Emblem on Tank & Dried with Leaf Blower. Doubled the Floss for Added Strength and Used It Like A Saw, (SLOW).
Taped Emblem To Tank Before Cutting Through.
Placed rag under tank (taped).
Sprayed SMALL amount of '3M' on adhesive and let sit 3 minutes. DID NOT ALLOW '3M' TO RUN or DRIP (kept spare rag handy)
Used 'cotton helmet visor wipe' to clean/remove adhesive (cotton strands stick to adhesive and make it easier to remove) Rub in one direction (SLOW). Sometimes adhesive will pull off.
