Does anyone have an idea how to get my build sticker off the FRONT of the fuel tank. There's less than a half inch of space to work with here and I really don't feel like dropping the tank unless it's the last resort. Anyt idea's would really be appreciated. Thanks

Drop the tank - even with the tank out, it's very difficult to remove the sticker without destroying it. Take digital photos of it on the tank before you try to remove it, if you simply MUST remove it. I'd just photograph it and leave it in place.

If you elect to leave it in place I would consider spraying it with some spray fix (Grumbacher). Look for it at an art supply store. I soaked my social security card with it over 40 yrs ago and its still im my wallet in fine shape.

This may be a dumb questions but what year? Your profile says you have an 86 which I think means you can get a copy from NCM.
