How to remove this ??

I want to remove the hideous looking black thing we're my nuts Get a good squashing (tank protector) to something easier on the eye. Can it be removed without the need for painting or covering any holes ?
Cheers PJ

 

Hairdryer and fingers mate - if you peel the paint it wasn't warm enough

 

So it's just stuck on . . Thanks Mr. H

 

Yeah Marco stuck on plenty of heat,maybe a bit of WD40 for any residue

Honda: VFR Tank pad 08P61.MCS.800-2 buy cheap at moto24 - only £31.84

 

Or some lighter fluid on a clean cloth would also get any tack off .

 

Thanks guys . . I'm off work tomorrow so I will give it a go

 

you need a day off to do this?? this is a 3 minute job mate, spend your day riding the bike not peeling a nut protector off

 

knowing how chunky this pad is (saw in shop) may be a struggle to get it warm, maybe take the tank cover off and warm from inside.
I personally would place one of those microwave bean bags or hot water bottle on the area, then hairdryer from pad side as well.
good luck matey. piccy of my pad on the same bike for consideration

 

Hrc tank pad is the only way, what numpty put that fuckin monstrosity on , Jesus Christ !!

 

Heat it up as above and use dental floss to cut through the glue in a sawing action.

 

Thanks for all the help . . It is a terrible looking thing that I thought came standard?? Don't tell me someone payed money to put this thing on !

 

Or fishing line

 

Stretches too much with the heat.

 

I'm ashamed to say mine has that horrible tank pad on it. Just not got round to taking it off but have just purchased the HRC pad from ebay after reading this post.
