[manchester1]

That looks really awesome:thumbsup: I'm going to get the old decal off and save it in wax paper like you told me and clean the plastic tank up real good. There is a bunch of stinky stuff on the one side from the old decal.

 

[bikebudy]

Acetone, Brake clearer and carb cleaner will all remove the old glue and not hurt the plastic.

I did try a tiny bit of acetone today but I was scared it would hurt the plastic. Took the tank off and gave it a good cleaning.

I noticed I could raise the seat a bit. I think it looks better with the gas tank:thumbsup:

Impressive, Tank looks new !

Brake clearer and carb cleaner are a lot less abrasive and take a bit more to remove glue, but they do work.
