i bought a brand new right fairings on ebay for 113 bucks shiped but its black and blue and i need red and black no biggy cuase i can get the decals for 50 bucks from sponsor site so for 163 i have a brand new fairing. any way whats the best way to get the decals off?

i heard when puting the new ones on to spray a light soapy water on to give you time to position correctly and get the air bubles out any one try this?

 

new will come off easier than if it's been on there awhile.
i used a blow dryer then peeled it off...clean off residue with WD40 or goo gone or other bug tar remover. be patient and go slow.

 

+1 on what Tahoe said: good ole blowdryer and a fingernail will do the job everytime...

 

thanks guys. what do you think about the soapy water trick?

 

it does the trick. soapy water and then a credit card or squegee to get the bubbles out...

 

thanks you guys have been a great help on here

 

We use an heatgun at work, but I think a hairdryer will do the same thing. Basically, you want to warm up the adhesive a little so you can ease the decal off the medium it is attached to.

 

I like to use a dull knife and kind of stab at the decals for a little bit. then I usually start shooting a bb gun at the edges till they get roughed up. After that, I like to take some steak tongs and slowly pry away at the edges untill I get bored, at which point I get mad and just tear off whatever is sticking off the fairing and then do a crappy job putting replacements over whatever i havent pulled off.

That's one way to put it...hahaha. Seriously, they can still be a pain in the a$$. I destickered my tribal including the tank that was cleared over the stickers but patience and LOTS of BB's and you're good to go.
