Badge Removal

[katsi]

I need to remove the badge from the hood and I don't want to do any damage to the hood or the badge. Does anyone know the proper way to get them out without making a total mess out of the hood?

My 80 badge has two posts that come out of the back of the badge and are just pressed into plastic keepers. Use a plastic tool that can get under the badge and slowly pry. Earlier versions may have had screws, not sure.

Yes, mine too has that plastic holder. I was just wodering how to get it out without pyring up on the hood and possibly damaging it in the process.

Katsi STOP!!!! under the hood ,below the hood badge is usually a rubber cover.(there is on my 80 anyway) That comes off straight forward. Then you can see/feel the little plastic plugs that go over the studs on the badge. The good ol needle nose pliers will grab those suckers and with a bit of finess wiggle off.
Then have a brewski

Thanks "Narfire". I did find the plug and was thinking of just clipping everything off and then thredding the posts and lightly bolting them back on - if that is even possible.
