Removing Tank Badges

[speedblock]

I have a '73 GT750 tank that I'm preparing for paint. It appears that the badges are not screwed on - am I missing something here? Yeah, my eyes are getting bad but I don't see screw heads anywhere, and I don't see screws (just nuts) on the parts diagram either. How do you get these things off? Any help would be appreciated!

they are secured by two posts on the back of the badges that locate in tiny spring nuts attached to the tank,




these are pics of the side pannel badges but it the same deal.
as to getting them off i used a thin nylon cord pulled from the end until i got to the post and pulled outwards and the the same the other end.
they are quite soft and bendy so take care.
others may have a better technique but it worked for me.

Yep. They just pop off. The 'nuts' (actually spring clips) are still available from Suzuki if yours are rusted out. Part no. 09148-04005.
To my knowlege, the screw on badges first appeared in 76.
