Hey Peeps, Just added the rear bag guards and added back my engine guard from my 03 Fatboy (removed the Kuryakyn highway cruise arm) on the Deluxe and was wondering if anyone has an easy way of removing the warning stickers?

Heres a couple pics from the garage. Think they look cool. SS in route. Should be here this week.

Heat gun, then peel with fingers. I also follow up with either thinner on chrome or I have some decal remover spray (always test first on a site that is not visible). I remove all stickers except VIN. Also remove reflectors.

Heat gun or blow dryer to heat up the glue. Dental floss works for me to get under it, especially if you have very short finger nails. Glue remover as already mentioned.

I just ordered those same rear bag guards today for my Deluxe. I just peeled off all warning stickers and then used WD-40 and elbow grease to remove the glue.

Your bike looks fantastic.

Rip it off and use silicone spray and a nice chrome rag on it

Lighter fluid also works well for cleaning up these adhesives.

3m adhesive remover works amazing, it is citrus based is safe on paint, spray it on let it sit for a few minutes and then peel it off
