Mine came off easily with floss. Use work gloves to protect your fingers from getting cut by the floss or fishing line. I used Goo Gone and WD40 to get off the backer. No scratches whatsoever. Have not replaced the emblem.

RE: Tank Emblem Removal
I was wondering why you wanted to remove the emblem. I had only heard of other makes being "debagged". Nevermind.
A buddy of mine had 2 scoots. One was a FLST and an FLH. Both the same color (Bronze Pearl - 2000 Models). That color is awesome. I don't know why HD didnt stick with it. Anyhoo.. He had the emblem removed on the FLH to replace it with the sticker to match the FLST. It looked good.

RE: Tank Emblem Removal
The reason I never put Decals back on after paint was, it seems to make the polished engine stand out more.

RE: Tank Emblem Removal
I recently took all the badges off of my car and my bodyshop tech told me to use nothing more than a hairdryer, which I did and wore a pair of gloves cause the badges get hot, but they came right off with no use of fishing line or anything else. Just used a little goo remover then to get off the remaining glue, and there are a few differentkinds of glue remover safe for painted surfacesout there, I used 3M decal remover. But I had no paint damage, and the paint quality on my car is nothing compared to the quality on most HDs.
