More on debadging. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I used fishing line on the tank badges, heated the side covers emblems and the rear fender name sticker with a hair drier, a little GooGone for the minor clean up,,, 3 to 5 minutes I was done . For the triple tree logo, I had Bill Turner, the sign maker at Mack Trucks cut me a chrome plastic square to fit in the logo cavity, I adhered my 30 year pin on it and 'voila',,, I own the one and only "Mack Truck" motorcycle. I'll see if I can get my son to help me post a pic to show you what it looks like

AWESOME!
I look forward to seeing the pics.

I wonder...you used the fishing line on the rear fender 'zuki sticker? I'd of thought that wouldn't require the fishing line. Seems it would be hard to get under the sticker.

Let me know, PLEASE. I've been tossing around the idea to debadge. I'll at least remove the 'zuki sticker in the back because I don't like the look (it's like a bumper sticker on a bike!).

THANKS, Sgt Mike.

Just warm it with a hair dryer and peel it, a little car wax will remove the glue.

Goo Gone, let it soak in about 5 minutes, comes right off. If you have the pinstriping on the fender dont get any of it on that. I didn't because I thought it just might take that off too.

Yep,, as it was said here, heat it with a hair dryer, start to lift one corner and gently peel the rest, it comes off pretty easily. I used the fishing line to "saw" the tank badges double face tape.

But it still says SUZUKI on the engine block!!!

Sgt Mike · 04-25-2006, 08:11 PM

Yes it does Mitch, if you know where to look for it. I've had quite a few bikes in my life time and all of them were debadged, it just something that I do for no particular reason other than make other people guess what they are

.
They thought that my Ariel was a BSA and my Matchless was an AJS. Uh,Oh,, maybe I shouldn't have said that, now you know about how old I am

Gimme a little time Poe-Boy my son hasn't been my way yet. Hopefully next weekend

I found it extremely easy to debadge. I pulled off the emblem and then rolled the rubber/foam sticker off.
