Hair dryer. Heat it up and pull it off.

after you get it off use a little Goo Gone to remove any left over glue.

After it was warmed up the remains rolled off with my thumb for me.

Been wanting to know this myself, glad it came up.

After you heat it up a bit, does it pretty much come off in one piece?

I pulled mine off on a nice and hot day after the bike was in the sun for about an hour. It came right off.

Came off in one piece, but I didn't much try to save it so it distorted. I suppose if you were **** about it you could save the sticker but who has that kind of patience, especially for a stupid sticker? Not me anyways.

Any Idea why the sticker is on the bike in the first place?
Always wondered that myself.

heated mine (I think there are three)
peeled off intact, put them in an envelope and saved them.

then I tried to get the Objects Are Closer lettering off the mirrors.
No success, and that pissed me off.

So I went in the house and ripped the tag off the mattress.

Problem there. I have a WaterBed.

I was arrested, Federal Offense you know.

When I made bail, mildew had set in
and now I live in the shop.
