You can also get reproduction vintage tank badges or have some custom ones made. It is probably cheaper than paint.

One side did not leave any adhesive the other left a little which I got off with Goo Be Gone. Not sure the outside temp mattered but it was about 70 degrees. I did not have any damage to the paint.

That is my garage door opener. Easy to reach as I am pulling up to my house and shutting the garage door when i leave.
Not the prettiest but it makes life easy.
I'm open to better ideas??????

I used braided fishing line, coat with carwax, zip, right off. Helps if the garage or whatever is warm vs cold....Keep it against the paint as you do it and you will get most of the double sided tape off. Any residue, goo-gone and a hair dryer..didnt take long...

I replaced with CVO badges..I have seen a couple bikes with the same-as-stock badging, but painted on and in 3D and it looks great!!! cant tell till you get up close...

It’s actually from World of Warcraft, but Balrog would have worked.
