Duct Tape!!! I removed mine and used nothing but duct tape and it took all the crap i couldnt even get off with my finger nails off. Just keep dabbing it and it will pull everything off. I dont like using solvents or anything like that on my paint.

PB Blaster decal remover works great! I took a nylon scraper from my kitchen to work the worst of the sticker off, then used the PB Blaster and it took it off as slick as snot!

I just used Turtle Wax's Bug & Tar remover. Just let it soak for 30min, hit it w/ a clean terry cloth towel, a few moments of rubbing--gone!

And yes, pre-heating the area w/ a heat gun or hair dryer helps things along quite nicely.

Yep, just try plain old smooth peanut butter. Just rub it on lightly, give it a few minutes to work, the oil in it seems to penetrate and disolve the glue residue and it can be easily removed. Let me know how this works for you.

+1

It's petroleum based and works great. When I bought my bike the guy took most the decals off already but left some residue on the wind screen and fairings. I took off the tank sticker.

Just shake the bottle up to mix it and apply lightly and thoroughly. I rub it in a little, wait about 10 seconds and wipe it off.

Remember to clean it completely afterward (I use a Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer) and give it a nice wax!

This may work great but I don't think I'll ever feel the same about eating peanut butter.
