Debadging an F3

[Knight]

Considering debadging my '19 F3. I have done so on a couple of my cars in the past. Usually, as long as the badging is just held on with adhesive, careful application with a heat gun, some dental floss, and a bit of patience gets most badges off pretty easily.

The "Spyder F3" stickers on the sides of the tank should be easy enough, but I'm wondering about the "Can-Am" badging on either side. I'd also consider the "BRP" hood badge, but the raised portion around the badge wouldn't make it look very clean, IMO.

Has anyone done this, and are they in fact just attached with adhesive, or are they secured some other way? Would removing the badging reveal any holes or other odd projections that are otherwise concealed?

Both the Can Am and BRP badges are held on with some gnarly adhesive tape. They do come off.... ;-)

Just a simple question: Why on earth would you want to do that?

Yes, why would you? Oh, I did. Because it looks a lot cleaner. The stickers come off easy the Can-am lettering is glued on pretty good. Use a heat gun and warm it up & it peels right off. It might leave some glue on there that can be cleaned up with some goo gone.

Why on earth would you ask that question?

I have debadged all my toys in the past, hair dryer or heat gun work great

Instead of debadging, I had vinyl decals made. Yeah, I'm an Alfisti - had four of 'em over the years.

-are there any holes under the big spyder badge on the saddle bags on the ‘19 T ? There is a bulge behind the badge on the inside of the lid which seems to line up with the badge.

-is there any concern debadging on matte paint?

Thank you,

I de-badge all my driving/riding toys. Much cleaner look, JMHO.

De-badging?! I don't even know why I'm reading this thread.
