+3 its not all that hard, if you are nervous about it try to keep the mono/dantal floss/thread on the badge or reflector side of the adhesive. The remainder of the adhesive strip on the bike can be removed with your thumb, and a little WD-40/Carb Cleaner to take off any remaining residue.

on the forks, just get something plastic under it and lift slowly, as you use a hair dryer..
Easy, also any sticky left on the forks, pull like your stretching it and it will release and come right off,
tank and fender just rubbed off with my thumb.
just take your time, and when your pulling on the tank badges watch the other end, don't let it dig the tank, I used a piece of Velcro on that end to make sure it didn't pry on the tank..
it all sounds harder than it is.. go for it.

+1 on all the ideas posted. I also used a plastic spoon for a little more leverage as to not scape the paint. Denim also.
