I did mine yesterday @Jonnyk . They are hard to remove. I used a heat gun and a fish line. Took me about half an hour for each side heating and cutting the rubber slowly with the fish line. I cleaned the rubber on the side pannels with acetone after removing the badges.
The side pannels are in perfect shape , no scratch put the badges are a bite damage if you look closely . I had twist them a bite in order to be able to take them off. I'll maybe buy new ones later or just put something different.
Everything with the ducati label on it comes with a price! An example being my first service!! £190 to change the oil and filter and do a few checks!! Madness !
Random question for anyone who used a heat gun to remove the badges from the tank: Did you drain the gas from the tank first? Or am I the only person nervous about blasting a container of gas with blazing heat? Ha ha.
I've also done it the way Guillaume Audette described, but used a hair dryer rather than a heat gun. Worked fine. I didn't have any acetone, so getting the adhesive off was a real b!tch.
I've posted this elsewhere but a single strand from inside a piece of paracord worked much, much better than fishing line.
