Decal Removal
06/13/16 at 09:11:36
I want to remove the savage decals from the sides of the gas tank. I saw a guy on youtube cut around a decal, then heat gun and remove, there was paint and clear coat under his decal.
I removed a small bit of mine, but it doesn't appear to have paint and clear coat under the decal. Any ideas?

How I removed my chrome decals was to let the tank run low on gas and set the bike in the Texas sun for a couple of hours.
Then I used fishing line to saw through the gookum that holds the decals onto the tank.
I pulled the bike into my garage and after the tank cooled off I then cleaned the mess up with GoofOff.
I wouldn't put any kind of solvent on hot paint.
There is a posting on here IIRC that has pictures removing the decals.

The chrome "badges" are not decals.....they are stuck "on" the paint with foam tape.
The "decals" are under the clear coat paint layer - but over the base color coat. I really don't know how you could get the decals off and save the paint. It is not as easy as getting the "stuff" out of an Oreo!

A local guy removed his Suzuki boulevard logos. They came off without a trace. His tank looks like it came that way

2003. I'm going to try to vinyl wrap instead of remove the decals.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

The top one. IMO the ugliest one they ever made for the savage.

It's sort of Indian feather-like. You know...savages!
BTW, I don't mean to be offensive to any native Americans. I'm part Cherokee.

Hey, aren't you Billy's cousin? Billy, he's a real good friend..

I've been tracing my family tree lately. I got all the way back to about 1580 before it became untraceable. Turns out my ancestors came from Armagh County, Ireland. My Great Grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee though.

...for anyone reading this thread that wants to remove the badges, not the stickers.
