I was just wondering what you guys were using to remove the (tank and rear sides) decals from your bikes? I'm kinda nervous about using a heat gun on these plastics and was wondering if it is even needed. Thnx! Kev.
The newer models are embedded and the older one's fall off, then a little goo-gone gel to clean up the glue. You can buy unlogoized plastic for most models, from UFO or in some cases Husky (I have a clean white set for my 449 that are a Husqvarna part).
Mine are def not embedded or anything like that. Thanx for the goo-gone tip...I just happen to have a small bottle of it here on my desk
Rather than a heat gun, a hair drier shouldn't get hot on enough to cause problems. We use it on number plates all the time to get a nice wrinkle free finish on the complex curves. If you guys are interested in graphics, I can talk to the owner of bikegraphix (he's a local racer and these are the heavy duty graphics) and see what he could do on price and what not. The shrouds are an odd shape that would take some time to template, but to replace that top graphic with a serious heavy duty one, with a nifty husqvarna/cafehusky/whatever logo would be simple, and if there was enough interest it'd probably be very reasonable in the cost department. I was going to check on some clear vinyl from him anyhow for luggage strap protection.
Lock me in. Would be keen for a large H logo like Kjacks avatar? Actually, I'm keen for anything beta than the crap stock one!
