Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / December 2004tank emblem removal
Hi, Two things.......Has anyone tried reusable motorcycle graphics and has anyone removed the tank Yamaha emblem from a 650 classic? How is it attached....Glue....That would be my guess as theses bikes are built with cost containment in mind Thanks, Sam Yes, I ordered the eagle and love it. I didn't remove the VSTAR graphic, I just applied to eagle over it. You have to get really close to see there's anything under it. You apply the graphic with a blow dryer and it sticks like it was glued. They guarantee it'll stay on at least one year. I assume you're talking about those from cyclegraphics.com. cheers bob > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Sam Yes Cyclegraphics. There website is pretty poorly designed for anyone not on broadband. But that's not important. I don't have a tank graphic I have a big honkin' piece of plastic. I'm going to have to do some research on this as I don't want the VStar logo and some semi-custom graphic. Thanks for the reply!! Sam >Yes, I ordered the eagle and love it.

I'm told that those plastic ones are just glued on. I've heard of two different ways to remove them. One was inserting some fishing line under it and sawing away. Others have told me that they just used a hair dryer, loosened the glue and pulled it off. Something like goo-gone will take off the glue left on the tank. I've gotten a lot of tips after joining the Star Riding and Touring Assoc. My logo was a decal, clearcoated over. I just covered it with the graphic. Looks fine. Ride Safe bob I was able to get a good look at the tank and emblem yesterday. It really looks like it is on there with a double-sided stick tape. In a few months I'll try both methods to remove it. I tried joining the Assoc but never got the e-mail. I forgot they existed. Perhaps I'll try again. I have spent alot of time thinking about tank graphics and yesterday I hit on just what the graphic is going to be an got in touch with http://www.tapeworks.com/ and they are sending me some samples in the color choices I specified. I'm going to have to start practicing my applique techniques. Yahoo!

Mine went on pretty easily. cheers bob > Sam > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > >bob try KANO, LET IT SOAK A FEW DAYS No problem use a hair dryer to heat it up and spray wd-40 on the decals they will come off with no damage to the paint > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Sam |
