Took me about 20 mins. total to remove the badges unharmed from the alum caps. All that needed done was to remove the three spots of epoxy. I used a small sharp wood chisel. I wasn't too concerned about scratching the cap up because the back is never seen plus it's going to get re-chromed. After the hard epoxy was gone there was a retaining ring on the center post of the badge that needed removed. I used a Dremel tool with grinding wheel to cut that off. The badge popped right off then. Of course the first one took the longest. A little epoxy was still on the back side of the badges so that was removed too with the Dremel. Now to get them re-chromed. Here's where I'm getting them done. They are local to me.

That would be great and then be sure that Stan sees it for posting over in the TECH TIPS area...or maybe Brad can do that...he is bored anyway, nothing to do but surf the web when it is -40F outside!!!
BTW, it was a high of 65F here today! When I went out for my ride at 10:30AM it was 52 and sunny! Light breeze of 6-10 mph out of the SE! NICE!
