tuning fork sticker removal?

[sideshow_downs]

Anyone have any tips on how to remove the Tuningfork emblems off the tank? They are the new style foam backed ones

I used paint thinner and my thumb nail. What PITA! The decal remover sounds much better.

It is actually an emblem that is affixed to the tank with double-sided sticky foam stuff.

I don't bleed blue, but I do like the tuning fork logo. I just didn't think it looked very good on the tank, or at least that the tank looks a lot better without it. If you are reasonably careful, the tank emblem can be removed without damage, cleaned up on the back, then stuck somewhere else with a double stick tape of some kind (I got some tape from a body shop.) I put mine on my swingarm:

WD-40 and a razorblade....
Be careful though!!! It's easy to scratch.

Rip it off and clean off the sticky stuff with Goo-Gone

No, it is a "Sport Skinz" replacement seat cover from Sargent Cycle Products. $69.95 plus about $10 shipping. Links and a couple more pictures in this post. If you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask. Here's a bigger picture of the seat:
