Default tank emblem

I have an 05 Road King Standard and I just purchased a Road King Custom fuel tank. I would like to take the emblem off of the customtank and put a different Road King emblem on the tank. Has anyone done this, is it hard to take emblem off and put a differentone on?
Thanks,
Mike

Get a hairdryer and heat it up then run a piece of fishing line behind it. Remove any left over glue with 3M adhesive remover.

Just heat them up and the Custom emblem (it's pretty flimsy) will peel right off. Take a rag and a little WD40 to get off the rest of the glue, then rub a little alcohol on the area before you put the new emblems on. If you're using your own 2-sided tape, get the good stuff - 3M automotive/Emblem tape -it's grey in color with a red backing. I replaced the Custom emblems on my bike with the Street Glide emblems.......much nicer.
