I did it on my 09 streetglide. I parked it in the sun and hit it with a hair dryer. Then I used a piece of fishing line eased it in behind the logo into the two faced tape and pulled from the front to the back. Then I used WD-40 to remove residue and a good wash and wax after. This worked perfect for me good luck and I love it with no emblem.

Let it get hot in the sun all day, i used a small flat head screwdriver, go to a corner and use the flat head to pull the decal toward you away from the bike (obviously dont touch the paint on your tank), mine popped off with 100% no residue or anything on the tank.

As stated aboved park in sun if possible or eat with hair dryer, Soak with Wd-40 for a ew minutes, Use Detal Floss, Mono Fishing Line (not braided) in a sawing motion. Have removed many most are easy, some a little harder. The metal in the tank is thin, I seen a friend dent his with his thumb trying to pry of emblem.

Took the tinny logo off my 2012 Streetglide. I have a quartz work light that puts out a lot of heat, used that instead of sunshine, not so close that it would damage the paint. Let some 3M adhesive remover soak in for a few minutes. Used some mono fishing line and sawed it behind the double stick. More 3M spray to get any remaining goo off, a little soap and water, and a couple coats of wax and you can not tell any tank badges were ever there. This was on vivid black. Can't say about denim paint.
