Handle Bar Badge Removal

[Venym]

I have been thinking of possibly painting or chroming my handle bars, but I do not want to ruin my "Premier Edition #115" badge. Has anyone removed these badges? If so any stories or suggestions of removal with out ruining them? Any info would help in my decision making. Thanks

Use a blow dryer and get it good and hot and they will peal right off.

sounds easy enough. hope it works

And you can pry gently with an old credit card or plastic fork after heating to make it easier.

I used a heat gun on my after market badges when i got my handlebar insert chromed. Put the idents in a plastic baggie and reused them. Try not to touch the glue with your fingers

Once heated, dental floss slid back and forth behind the badge makes sure you do no damage, which is possible if you get too aggressive trying to peel them.
