Default saddlebag guard stickers
Does anyone know the best way to get the stickers off the saddlebag guards and engine guards, can you burn them off???

Default What stickers?
Are you talking about the safety/warning stickers?
They can't be peeled off?
Not sure I understand the problem. Maybe you could post a picture of the stickers and their placement.

Yep on the wd40... apply more if there's any sticky residue left after the sticker's off.

I still have the saddlegard warning stickers on my '08....it helps give it that new bike look,but I took the "don't load more than 10 Lbs of stuff" warning sticker off my luggage rack.

Only 10 pounds ? Seriously ?

Heating the sticker with a hair dryer also softens the glue making it a bit easier to get started on the removal.

After soaking in WD-40 peel off and use 0000 steel wool to remove the residue.

Not what I would do.

Peel it off and some gas on a rag and the remaining glue comes right off.

This is pretty timely. Just knocked off all the stickers on customer bike not 1 hour ago. Even frame ones. Heat gun ...warmed up metal all around stickers. NOT THE STICKERS. Peeled off simple. Job took 15 min including waxing spots stickers removed. Residual heat is what makes it easy. If you heat sticker it's a PITA and will take forever
