So I removed the plastic "intruder" emblem on my tank and am now looking for somthing to replace it with. Im thinkin I like the "skull thing" ( I know its origional) but my bike is a 2001 black/blue so I want to keep dark colors to go against the blue of the tank. Anyone see anything cool out there, again, want to stay dark blue, black, grey, you get the idea. Also what about plastic or metal emblems?? I think I like the side profile of the skull with flames behind it. Thanks

Autozone has some new chrome, bendable emplems that include the iron cross, skulls and flames.

You can also go on ebay and type in "emblems" and there are 18,000's of them on there.

Also at Autozone there are some DIY Ghost Flames I think I may try on the tank and front fender. I just wonder if anyone else has tried these flames?

I'm thinking about taking the "Intruder" emblem of my Volusia as well. How did you go about taking it off and was there any problems?

very easy, bought a plastic putty knife (2 inch wide) waited till a 70 degree day and without prying, pushed the edge of the putty knife all the way under the emblem from one end to the other. It came off very easy, then I used 3M adhesive remover to remove the double sided tape

thxs for the info...now I just have to wait for a month so the temp can get up to 70 degrees...

if you have a garage just turn on the heat, i actually cranked up the gas grill in the garage for a few hours and seemed to work fine

LOL I was gonna say WTF.,.. but I decided that would be to bold.. LOL


really dental floss or fishing line will work good..... honest without the possibility of damaging the paint or denting the tank..

That's one of the things I find cool about Forums. Learning neat ways to do things.
Dental floss or fishing line makes perfect sense.
Thxs for the input!

if you want to mess around for 2 hours with it use the floss and hairdryer, (dont get to hot) or if you want them off in 2 minutes, use the putty knife. Insert it (beveled edge) under the back porton of the emblem (there is a little space between the emblem and the tank creating a lip) Move horizontaly towards the front (narrow end of emblem towards the wider end) No SH*T this worked just fine, im sure the floss works also

I agree with the putty knife method....but make sure its a plastic putty knife.

It does take a while, so it's up to you on what you are comfortable with.
