I got a new set of the low profile rear saddlebags guards (crash bars).
I was hoping they would come with the stickers not installed, but they came with them on.
How do I get these off without screwing up the brand new chrome?
They look like shiet, and I want them gone!
I don't want to try anything yet, until I find out what others have done, good or bad, lets hear it.
Thanks!
Peace

 

There are two ways that I know of;
1. heat gun (hair dryer) to heat them up a little and they should peel right off.
2. Goo gone or other adhesive remover.

 

+1 on the heat gun or hair dryer that's how i took the stickers off and a little goo gone if there is any residual goo sticking around.

 

thanks guys, don't have any of this goo gone stuff tho, maybe use some brake cleaner?

 

No no no no no no no. That will destroy the chrome in very short order.

 

How will that harm the chrome?

Goo-gone and stuff like that has acetone,and that does not harm chrome.

Acid,harsh abrasives will ***** up chrome.Even some brands of chrome cleaner can scratch.

 

The glue comes right off with WD-40.

 

The wd40 sounds a little less harmful then brake cleaner.
Found another thread, and the replies covered the entire spectrum,
from brake cleaner, wd40, acetone, paint thinner, goo gone, soap and water,
elbow grease, lighter fluid, gasoline, etc. Damn, I might as well just mix them all up, and get the best of all of them. haha.
I have a heat gun, but will too much heat discolor the chrome? I'll use it on a low setting
for sure.
Thanks guys, I think as long as I stay away from abrasives, I'll be ok

 

Soak 'em in lighter fluid, clean it up with a paper towel...

 

Goo Gone is available at any hardware store, or even Dollar store. It does not contain acetone, and is not harsh. I took off all the stickers on all my guards with it. Worked great. Brake cleaner is harsher, and won't work as well on adhesive. Don't do it.
