Any suggestions on the best way to remove the airbox decals without causing any damage? |

Apply gentle heat (hairdryer) and peel slowly, apparently on a hot sunny day you won't even need the hairdryer.. |

![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/554214.jpg) i peeled the originals off, and cleaned the residue with 1040, then applied some xb decals, which look a hell of a lot better. |

I heated the back side of the air box cover as opposed to applying heat directly to the emblem. |

So the question I have is this. What is the best way to apply a new decal? Do the air box decals come with instructions? Are they applied with a glue or adhesive? They seem pretty durable. |

I'll use masking tape around the original decal and peel them off. The tape allows you to place the new decal in the same location. |
