I pulled the ugly *** badges off my 2010 FXDC & ran it naked for awhile. Took a cell phone pic of the tank on a 2011 Iron 883, had my son turn the pic into a printable form, and then had a local graphics company make some decals. For $21.00 they will work fine until I decide to do something else.

Read on another post if I remove the air deflector on the right side of the frame the air vents that way and cools better

Don't do it under clear coat. Put it on top. Just thinking from a resale perspective. Some hate emblems some love them. Especially with custom paint jobs, having the flexibility to remove or ads different ones is more versatile. That's if u plan to ever sell.

I've done custom paint jobs on my bikes before and resale isn't something I'd consider. If you worried about resale you wouldn't do a custom paint job in the first place

When I was looking for a project bike, I was considering a well used old FXD with a ridiculously hideous "ripped machine" custom paint scheme. The salesman was telling me about this "expensive" custom paint and was trying to jack up the price and I kept telling him that it was terrible and just not my style and kept pushing down the price...we finally agreed on a price that did not include any "extra" cost for a custom paint job that I hated...

I rode with that paint for awhile and got a few compliments, but in the end, it had to go...repainted and blank for now as I try to decide what to do, if anything.
