I was able to take off the all the decals on my fairing, but the ones on the tank appear to be paint-glazed.... anybody know of a way (besides re-painting) I could remove the tank decals??? Thanks!

Those are under clearcoat. No easy way to take them off.

looks like I'll have to add new paint to the wishlist for my baby... I mean my bike (wouldn't want to piss of the wife, now eh?)!! Yellow, of course.

hey t15 I have the same bike as you..i am in the process of sanding all the plastic and the tank to repaint it.. I'm painting it the stock yellow colour... I'll post pics when i'm done.

yellow = fast

Will the decals on the fairing peel off or do you need to heat them up with a hair dryer first ?

 

[swjohnsey]

Heating makes it easier. Setting it out in the sun will work, too.

Definitely heat them up. I removed all my decals on the plastic with a burnisher and a heat gun. REAL EASY, maybe 1 hour for both sides. Heat the decals and scrape them from one corner to center with a plastic scraper. Once the decal is off, remove all the sticky gum with goo-gone (or lots of windex in a pinch) and polish clean. Voila!

roberts do you have any pics of your bike with no stickers on it I'm thinking of doing it to mine and dont know if it will look stupid with the purple paint on the front and back.
