          Seriously?
          Beats my idea of razor blade and repaint it.

              I used a heat gun and goo gone. It did take a while and alot of elbow greese. The rear stickers came off easy. It does look alot better.

                            Going to do the sticker removal tomorrow. The purple isn't doing it for me. Maybe if it's just the seat and tank it'll look ok.

                              Everyone is always posting about goo gone this and adhesive remover that....If you just remove the the stickers with the right technique in the first place, you wont have to use any thing to remove residue because it wont be there! I've posted this in at least 5 threads on the subject already but no-one ever seems to "search" and find it so I'll post it again in hopes that maybe it'll save some people some problems. When you remove these decals, use a heat gun or hair dryer and heat them just to the point where you can easily get a fingernail underneath the edge, then slowly pull the decal straight back away from the surface..DO NOT TRY TO PULL THE DECAL PARAL TO THE SURFACE!!!! Heat the decal a few inches in front as you go and take your time. If you overheat/underheat the decal, it will leave residue. If you dont pull straight out, it will leave residue. If you take your time and do it right....NO RESIDUE! I've removed decals and pinstripes from at least 50-80 vehicles and this technique has worked for all but the "really old" ones. I'm sorry if I seem like I'm being an *** but people are making this way mor difficult than it has to be. If you take your time and do it right, this is a 20-40 minute job and the only thing you'll have to do afterwards is buff out the surrounding paint to match the perfect "protected" paint thats under the decals afterward. At the most, you may have to scrub a few tiny residue spots with that goo-gone that everyone thinks doesnt work. Just for the record, the goo gone DOES work, it just takes a really abrasive fabric(t shirt material) and ALOT of elbow grease. My buddy with a gixxer didnt follow my advise and I had to scrub goo gone on his **** for 2 hours to get all the residue off from the 1 fairing decal he removed before I showed him how to do it right! Again, I'm just trying to make this easier so please people...do it right and save yourself some heartache.....oh yea, and use the search function on this forum!
