125-200cc Modifying (melting) the tank?

I have a GPR V4 that I previously had on my KX250 that I wanted to mount on my '09 WR125. The "2009 WR125" kit came in and I went ahead and mounted everything with no drama. Went to put the tank on and the stupid emblem thing in front of the front mounting bolt hole sticks out too far and hits the stabilizer post.

So my questions are: Has anyone had to modify their OEM fuel tanks by heating them up? Did it melt before it became soft enough to change the shape? What did you use - heat gun or torch?

I need to get this done quickly so I can ride this weekend.

I have not done this to the stock tank. However, I have done this to the IMS 3 gal tank to fit my Motosportz damer. I used a heat gun. Worked great.

THANKS! Just the information I was looking for.

Bought a heat gun at lunch so we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE: I found out the stock tank material is pretty tough and has a great memory! I would heat it up and get it to move some before it cooled. Then I would heat it up again and it would go right back to it's original shape! I finally ended up heating it almost to the melting point and putting the tank on the bike and bolting it down until it cooled. It did leave a small hole that I filled with plastic epoxy but it looks good and fits. All this and I only have one blister!
