I think the easiest way to do it, is peel them off and then put a little bit of gas on a rag and it will take all the goo off, it works like a champ. Just wash it right afterward, and it's good. Worked for me.

Whoever said to use a steamer, is correct. I used my steamer that I use for tinting window on his mid fairing, and they literally just come off. Start in a corner and use the steamer, it will roll up and then pull on it with some pressure and move the steamer back and forth as you pull and it comes right off.

Use a straight razor on the bottom corner and very carefully peel up the corner. Either way your probably gonna have to get it re-cleared. But a body shop should only charge around like 50-100$ to re-clear.

does anyone know if there is any clearcoat under the sticker? I know it has clear over the sticker but I got one decal off and the paint feels like its been cleared. Reason I ask is because if it is not I am going to have to get some remaining glue off without using anything that will discolor the tank. I have an orange tribal if that should matter

Hey finally got mine back together with no decals. I should have had everything not black powdercoated to match the bolts, but I didnt. Always next winter I guess

sweet man, my bike is totally graphic-less except the tank. How did you end up doing it? Did you pay someone to do it, if so how much?

Also, the wind screen and exhaust. Details please, where, how much, what do you think of them, etc.

Is the exhaust very loud, possible to record a video? Maybe I'll get mine looking like that soon.
