I just removed some off my 650 Interstate (that's for sale) that had been on there for 24 years in less then 5 minutes. Cleaned residue with WD40. Easy!

That's the way I do it, and the topic in the tech section contains an article from a bike magazine about it too.

I have an old hair dryer in the garage just for stickers. I also have a heat gun that I use for heat shrink tubing, but I'm kinda afraid to use it on paint Tongue

I used a heat gun, mainly because I have one and not a hair dryer. It was still a pain in the arse. I used goo gone to get the residue off but it took some doing.

Now I noticed the tanks got some swirl marks on it when you look at the right angle in bright light they really stick out. Guess I'll have to polish those out.

I didn't notice the article from the bike magazine, maybe I need to look again. What was the title?

Hair dryer is a little more gentle. Get your wife or girlfriend a new hair dryer for a gift and get the old one. That's how I did it Tongue

Swirl marks mean that something abrasive was involved. Maybe a dirty rag. For some reason, I've never had any luck with Goo Gone. Always use WD40.

Of course, you didn't find the article because it isn't there. I just checked. Hmmm. Crap Tongue
