Badging Removal...
06/13/07 at 07:41:05

I want to remove the "Boulevard" badge from the tank and the "S40" from the side cover on my 2005. Are these badges just stuck on with adhesive? Anybody tried this with success? I figured I would just use a hairdryer and some fishing line to get them off and then use some "Goof Off" to remove the residual sticky stuff. Finally, a nice coat of wax to polish the spot off and shine it up.

I first removed the decals from my side covers of my 2000 Savage. Came off without any problems. A little Goo gone, and they looked great. Then went at the tank decal with the hair dryer. A quarter inch of peeling the Savage decal away, and I realized it had been clear coated over. Not good.
Anyway, now I've got a different decal on the tank to kind of hide where the old decal was. So there will be complications if they clear coat over the Boulevard decal.

I am hoping that it is just "stuck" on and will peel off w no problems. I will probably take pics and post the results when I am done. I hope I don't get into trouble.....

Reply #7 - 06/13/07 at 13:31:22 Please post photos and method that works when you are done because i am thinking about doing the same thing. the stick-out-boulevard tank thingy has never impressed me, and the S40 gets me crap from other bikers.

Well...."WHAT the heck is THAT?!" "What does S40 stand for?" "That isn't/can't be an LS650 because it says right on there it is an S40 which means what? A slower bike?" "What is a 'boulevard' and that can't be an LS650 because it says boulevard right on it".

JM&J - cut me a break!
