I heard people use dental floss, work around from the edge to the centre till you peel the whole thing off. I haven't tried it myself but it makes sense to me.

if it's anything like a car, it's on there with adhesive. few minutes with a heat gun and it'll practically fall off. NOTE: Keep the gun moving!!!

edit: heat gun=hair dryer x 2

People have used different things to get them off, ie: dental floss, fishing line and even an old broken guitar string. Just take your time and they will come off, as far as the stripe, this is a decal that you might get from harley.

Monofiliment fishing line also works well..just be careful to cut through the adhesive only so you don't scratch the tank. Some people like to take a hair dryer and heat it up before removing the badge.
