Hey it's your bike -- if you think it's proper, it's proper, as far as I'm concerned. Good luck!

I don't know about the emblem, but to remove the warning sticker I used Goo-Gone & didn't leave a trace nor scratch. I would ride with it for awhile.. you'll love the compliments & it looks damn good with it IMO, plus, I would think it is easier to remove than put back on if you change your mind.

 

I used nail polish remover.

Simple. Fishing line slow like a saw and some wd40. A little heat from a hair dryer may help also. It very easy and only on with 3m tape. Mine came off fast. Go slow.

Yup. That works on pretty much any badging or reflector on any bike.

 

Dental floss and then clean the glue off with some citric cleaner.

My tank has the Indian name under the clear coat. It looks good. I think the raised Indian emblems look even better ! Too bad you don’t like them. Anyway, I used what’s called “ squid line”. It is nylon or whatever threaded fishing line. Small diameter even in 80 lb size. A 2 ft piece of this soaked in WD-40 or Tri-flow lubricant will saw through the glue on emblems, reflectors, anything with 2way tape. The line is very tough, and can be used again and again.

 

Baby oil works well to remove the warning labels and the residue glue.

Thanks Jason!

Heat helps a lot and some strong dental floss or fishing line. A little Goo B Gone and wax after.

 

Fishing line, goo gone, and rubbing alcohol to finish and remove goo gone greases. Heat gun was a must, even with goo gone.

 

Thanks to everyone for your input. I just like my "toys" to be a little different than everyone else's, and removing the logo will help me achieve that objective. I'll post pics after I'm finished.

 

I'm getting a little bored with straight Indian red. I'd like to add some ivory to the tank sides and fender. What is good for getting the emblems back on? (and staying on)

 

I rocked a naked tank for a bit, but I eventually got tired of people asking what kind of bike it was. I had always planned to put warbonnet decals on anyway... just took my time.

I had my tank replaced though, so that's why mine was badgeless for a while. Looked good that way though!

With every car I ever bought I wouldn't sign for it if it had a dealership sticker. Then as soon as I got it home I would remove all badging from the trunk lid. I like it cleaned up as well and I never for a moment believed anyone really cared that my car had X many valves and it was a LTZEXABCQ. I'm fairly certain most folks out there don't know what valves are. I'm dead set convinced diesel pick ups have a diesel badge solely to remind the moron driving it what pump to stop at.

 

I debadged my Jeep Rubicon as soon as it got home (except seats, sewn in). Stealth mode until I put it I 4low & lock the axles

 

Porsche offers no cost de-badging from the factory on new cars.

 

Debadged and added war bonnet

 

Sharp! Can I ask where you purchased the war bonnet?

 

Those who debadge their Indians should seek out owners of Kawasaki Drifters and sell them their tank badges.
The Drifter owners seem to like to identify their bikes as "Indians".


(Just how many of us would put Kawasaki tank badges on our bikes?)

 

Well, back in the day when I rode my '76 CB750 Super Sport, it was so you could lay on your tank and use them.

I left the "Indian" but took off the "Scout"

That's the way I did it.

 

Pretty much just like they said, a little heat, fishing line (I used braided) and some Goof-Off. Took maybe 15 minutes.

 

I used some fishing line and worked it behind the badge and just sawed it off. Goo be gone wiped of the left over adhesive.

 

I had a plastic tool that looks pretty much like a putty knife and used that with a little WD-40 and my wife's hair dryer, then goo gone to finish the job. I plan on doing a contrasting color trim on the sides of the tank and fenders, then adding the War Bonnet Decals. It's always fun to make my toys a little different than everyone else's.

Here's what the bike looks like now. I just added the Airhawk to see if it extends my comfortable riding distance. Previously I was comfortable for about 200 miles (I had the seat modified by my local upholsterer who's done other motorcycle seat modifications for me) and I'd like to do some 400 mile rides.

 

Late to this party by 4 years but FWIW: Just a credit card (no heat) worked easy for me to remove the 'scout' badge on the gas tank. Slid it from one end to the other in probably a minute or so. Used water and soft cloth to remove little bits that remained. I think it may have helped that I did this on my brand new Scout before the glue may have gotten more stuck
