How and what to do with the gunk that sticks it on??
WD40 and elbow grease.
Chances are good that you will end up with scratches; an orbital buffer with an orange mild cutting pad and Meguiars M205 light cutting polish will remove the scratches nicely.
I used WD40.
WD-40, fishing string/dental floss, goo-gone. Works like a champ w/ not scratches.
Soften the tape up w/ WD-40
Run fishing string/dental floss between emblem and faring, cutting the tape
use goo-gone to clean up the sticky left over.
wash/rinse/apply LG/Bake!
Goo Gone and fishing line work great. Let bike sit in hot summer sun or use a hairdryer to heat up the emblem being removed, then slip the fishing line in between the emblem and remove it. Then use Goo Gone to clean up the excess goo. Be extra careful or you will scratch the very soft paint that comes on these beloved beasts.
Ronsonol lighter fluid was suggested by a member here and it worked well for me.
3M adhesive remover, that's what it is made for. D
I used my hairdryer on all the badging. It all came off very clean. Just a little stickem on the rear, but still cleaned up nice using honda polish and letting it sit a while. The Fairing badges popped right out clean with just the hairdryer and a small flat blade screwdriver.
I got to "Man Up" and just go for it... that front and rear logo has got to go..
