heat them up with a hair dryer. Saw through that double stick stuff with dental floss. Use some Goo Gone on the left behind glue

Cheezy? That sucks. I already have a skull gas cap to go with my 20 other skulls. I just came back from the dealer where there was a few bikes customed out by purpleharley.com and they looked great.The decals looked like a custom paint job. Check out the website. They are local here in my town. If anything, I still want them off because a solid black tank would look better to me as well.

Be sure toget 3M application tape if you do decide to put them back. It's a grey thick tape with red covering. A good auto paint store should have it.

send them to me when you take them off, I'll give the address and pay shipping, obviously you don't want them =]

just heat it, cut thru with a knife or floss, and use goo-gone or goof-off and its done, as far as my experience goes with that stuff it doesnt hurt the paintjob.
