Author Message   Arthurc Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 11:06 am:        Anyone have recommendations on how to remove the airbox emblems without damaging the paint? My airbox has the "Buell" emblem and another right below it that says something like "an american sport bike". The latter is bubbling and I'd rather just get rid of it rather than fix it. Looking at the gallery for the Uly (on the Canadian site at least) I don't see this smaller emblem there anymore... just the company name emblem. It's still visible in some of the accessory shots though (like the tall windshield pic). Is this a way of easily identifying 2006 vs. 2007 Uly's? At any rate, I just want to peal mine off. I'd thought maybe a hair dryer (or leave it in the sun for a while) would make the adhesive easier to peel. Then use something like Goof Off to clean up the residue. Any suggustions?   Soloyosh Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 11:56 am:        Get it hot, then use fishing line.   Fubar Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 11:57 am:        You have the right approach. Did it the same way with excellent results. Used Goo-Gone to clean up the little remaining residue. fubar   Mb182 Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 01:18 pm:        dental floss and WD-40 will work MB   Fubar Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 04:16 pm:        Line/floss is really not necessary. Just a slow pull on a warm emblem works and leaves little gunk behind.   Lowflyer Posted on Tuesday, July 18, 2006 - 06:23 pm:        I used a fingernail to peel the badges and some lighter fluid to remove the gunk.   Thunderbox Posted on Friday, July 21, 2006 - 10:22 am:        Why wouldn't you just use heavier fluid instead.

Watched another guy doing it in the parking lot at the HD dealer... he was struggling   Roadrailer Posted on Friday, July 21, 2006 - 02:29 pm:        ALL my stickers peeled right off, no hair dryer or anything.

Watched another guy doing it in the parking lot at the HD dealer... he was struggling Are you talking about the stickers on the frame/swingarm, or the Buell emblem on the tank? I think they're talking about the latter here. FWIW, my stickers (frame/swingarm) came right off as well. I was surprised as well, as the stickers on my SV were almost impossible to remove. If fact, I left a few on. Haven't tried the tank emblems yet, and probably won't. (Message edited by roadrailer on July 21, 2006)
