Hair dryer and 3M adhesive remover. Been using it for years. Works great and never had a problem with damage to the paint of chrome.

Thanks guys,

I used Goo Gone and it worked very well. It also worked to clean up some gummy junk off of the chrome.

Late this afternoon, I then hit it with some Nu Finish scratch doctor and some Mothers Back to Black around the light bar.

The picture below is before the Nu Finish and Back to Black.

And finally, I touched up a few nicks in the paint on the side...

BTW, the sticker must not have been on that long as there was very little evidence of much difference in the paint. It was located on the side of the tour pak just in front of the light bar (and there was also another sticker just below the light bar...

Overall, not a bad purchase...

WD-40 works great. I had one of my sportbike racer buddies tell me peanut-butter works too. Got me, but what the hell right.
