Default Tank Badges
Te these only held on with double sided tape? Thinking about removing, replacing or painting them. What is the best to reapply them?

Try a hair drier to warm the badge and adhesive and then slide dental floss behind badge. You'll have to work the floss back and forth slowly but you won't risk damaging the paint that way. Be patient.

Run most of the gas out. Take the cap off to vent fumes and use a hair dryer to loosen the glue. Slide some fishing line 14lb works the best, and the seesaw the line through the warm glue and wallah of it pops. It may take a little time, ten minutes or so but fairly easy

I parked my bike out in the sun for a couple of hours and let them heat up, then used fishing line to pull them off. Worked like a charm.
