Just wondering if its possible to remove the decals on a 1996 savage(the savage decal, and LS650 decal)?  Seems powdered coated, is there a way around this? Can it be removed without damaging the ruining the paint job? I heard a blow dryer and razor work, is this good?

Also, can the baffles be drilled on the savage? And if so, how do you drill them?

any input is appreciated

thank you much

it can be done.  drain tank air out. heat with blowdryer get fingernail under clearcoat, gently heat and peal. ther will be a clear coat line feater it with new clearcoat.

the reason you remove fuel is that it won't allow the tank get  hot enough.   i did it to mine  looks much greater

slightly noticabe,  not bad though

I just removed my 'warning' decal on the tank yesterday.

Hair dryer and a plastic putty knife and 2 minutes later it was off.
WD-40 afterwards to clean off the glue residue.
Can't tell there was anything ever there.

what about the main logo (with clear coat), can that come off cleanly?

thanks

About the exhaust- I'd not drill holes. If You want sound and SLIGHT improvement in the performance- HD exhaist from ebay for couple bucks and after that if You like the result You can sell the original for more money. If You drill holes in the back of the muffler it becomes tricky- how many and what size holes, and If You screw-up the sale price goes down significantly.
If You want significant improvement of the performance- check the data for different exhausts.
