Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Decide before you put them back on the engine...wont waste any time or gaskets. I have NEW factory one for the points cover and if you wanted it to have silver letters i can remove the gold tinting from them.

The points side is in good shape,should come out nice.Stator side is the bad one.
Wonder why it is that the stator side seems to always take on a lot of abuse???

More people dump their bikes on the left side than the right from forgetting the side stand?
Greg, the way Chuck suggested is the only way to remove them.
evenly warm up the back side with a propane torch and catch under the edge of the emblem with a utility knife. apply a slight amount of pressure to the emblem but don't 'Gank' on it. when it's up to the correct temp the emblem will slowly pull away from the cover.
as our UK members would say... works a treat!
Dale taught me the trick. Once the emblems off,, a little direct heat to the residual glue and it will wipe mostly off with a shop rag.

So what do you put them back on with?Still thinking I would muck this up.Uncle Mike is on track I think,don't need to forget just not do it right.Suzuki's don't seem to like any downgrade on the side stand.
I have some 3M emblem adhesive tape. once its on its not gonna ever come off..
Double sided tape...

That's a great idea, was wondering how to do that. Getting there Greg, at least this crap weather is good for something. So how exactly did you keep the paint off the lettering?

Good job hand polishing. When the grid goes out here (rarely) I put the moves on the wife (which works as rarely...)
