- Removing the horrid tank badges from the CB.
There were some struggles, some fiddling and a great deal of patience, but the end result was worth it.
I am really chuffed with the results.
Hope you enjoy
Thanks for the video. I can confirm that the 2022 black edition badges are attached the same way and that fishing line was a very easy way to separate the glue.
i actually love the badges.
Me too, just not a big fan of how it's stuck with less effort than the whole design of the bike. I wish they polished the link between the tank and the badge. But I think that modern Honda badge looks so pretty and refined and polished, just like what Honda is about.
I used a heat gun to warm the adhesive just a bit. (it was winter) I suppose the hot sun could do the same job. Then I used high test fishing line to slice through it. Popped right off.
It's funny that you did this because I just picked up my 2019 CB1000R a few weeks ago and I wanna get rid of them ASAP haha. Thanks for the upload.
Hmmm, I watched out of curiosity but at the end, I prefer it with the badges. Fly the flag I say! 😀
I though you was making a mistake but that looks so much better without the badge looks great 👍
Agreed....it does indeed look much better without the badge. Nice.
Your execution was extremely delicate 😂....brave man.
I think it looks much better without, but I’d have heated around the the ‘badge’ first then used dental floss to ‘saw’ through the adhesive to remove it from the tank. White spirit or petrol to remove any residue.
I've used fishing line too
Gasoline straight out of the tank will remove sticker shit fast and easy... simply dip a tip of paper towel in the gas and dab on the sticker shit, wait a few and wipe... the tank is built to handle gas spills.
Thats not a bad idea but another comment came in saying using dental floss would've worked too. I like that idea and wished I had thought of it.
So much better without them 👍👌
These badges are tank edge sliders. Does anyone make tank pointy guards in carbon fiber to add protection back?
Tape an old yogurt pot round the badge with the bottom cut out, use hairdryer to heat the badge up locally and the PU adhesive will let go much easier
Just took my off my black edition, it looks so much better not to mention riding and stopping at the light and random people pull up next to you asking you "what is that you're riding" because there's no more emblem. Lol
Whats up, Fergie Woo. this is fairly particularly video. thank. :)
I think with a hair dryer to soften the glue and then using rectified Benzine would avoid having to over mark the paint with the plastic tool. Thanks for the video. Indeed this badge is not very nice 😉
Run braided fishing line behind the badge to cut the glue.
Thanks for the video! I never liked these, they look like the bike has nipples to me. I tried a heat gun but literally the plastic of the emblem started to melt and didn’t have a plastic pry bar so could only pry so hard and chickened out. Think heat and what u did would work great 👍. I also blacked out some of the aluminum pieces and they look great....pretty much what the new blacked out version looks like now.
Which aluminium pieces have you blacked out? Post a picture 📷
@@fergiewoo8190 the aluminum radiator shroud and the center aluminum piece that’s behind the engine. I have the aluminum “fork fender” and with the headlight casing being silver and the “fork couplers” being silver it was just too much splotches of silver going on. Don’t know how to post a pic on here but happy to send
@@martin4819 thanks Martin, don't worry about pictures, you've done such a good job of describing it 👍
@@fergiewoo8190 if u ever decide u want to paint the radiator shroud it’s actually velcroed on so don’t be afraid to just pop it out if it’s plastic housing FYI
I like it more with the badges on the tank - but never mind... have fzn.
Time it’s gold . Are you bored doing this😂
Looks great, are you gonna paint the honda logo or add a decal, or leave the tank extra naked :)... looks really good wither way
Think I'm going to leave it naked for now 👍
Has anyone removed the large side transparent stickers located on each side of the tank, as they can trap dirty etc around the edges?
i hate the emblem on my cb 1000 r, it is so cheap with the plastic badge.
Heating the glue with a air dryer or ... would of help better remove the glue and spare the damages.
That was a cringe worthy moment watching that.
Haha it was cringe worthy doing it
Hey guys! Anyone knows where can I find these badges to buy for my cb250r? Exactly this one with black plastic part under it.
Try a Yamaha dealership.
@@nikos-giorgos you funny dog.. good boyy
@@keremkrar2878
No, funny is some random guy in a forum, asking where he can get a genuine Honda part...
Poor badge 😭
Its OK. Badge has a new home on the fridge in the garage. I now have a Honda fridge 🤣
Fergie Woo that’s a great idea 👍 I’m on saving my pennies for the same bike as yours hopefully have enough come spring next year 👍
