GOO GONE works great on remaining glue and WON'T HURT PAINT! You can find it in most grocery stores!

But you have to be careful! You might void the warranty!

Heat gun and brake clean worked for me. There are at least three other NADER stickers one on each bag gauard and one on the crash bar between the lower fairing. They were still in good shape but they just bothered the Sh*t out of me every time I read them.

I was told to use a hair dryer to loosen it up

Make sure if do decide to use Goo Gone not to confuse it with Goof Off. Goof Off is a paint remover which WILL damage your paint, also smells like paint thinner. Goo Gone is a glue remover and will not harm paint, which smells like orange oil.

Thanks everyone for your response. I'll use the wife's hair dryer to help peel the sticker and wd40 and brake cleaner to remove the glue. I just didn't want to scratch up the cover.
