RE: removing adhesive from bodywork?
I used a blow-dryer and heated it up from the backside, then once it got nice and hot the decals pealed off real nice. It's a semi-slow process but the slower you go the better attention you can pay to not leaving the glue behind. Once I was done I only had a few very small patches of glue left to remove and I plan on using rubbing alcohol or wd40 now that I see that mentioned.

Today i removed the decals off my fairings because i am going to be painting them on saturday. I used that sticker remover and the goo gone stuff and neither did a very good job at all. I ended up using a blow dryer ( forgot to take the heat gun from work today) and pulling the decals off once the adhesive let go a little. It was a pain and i wish the sticker remover would have just taken them off haha but it did do a good job of taking off the left over sticky residue left behind from the decals.

I just had mine sandblasted when I was redoing my bike. Otherwise you need to just sand it forever to get through everything.

How do you get the decals of the gas tank? They are behind a layer of clear coat. I wanted to take those off also but don't really know how to go about it.

I just took mine off yesterday and I've been applying Goo Gone and it's taking forever but it is working. If you do use a hair dryer to remove the graphics then it guarentees a film but a slow peal w/ lite heat really doesn't leave anything. Well, now for the wd-40!
