Just wondering if any of you guys have a good 'ole remedies for removing those ugly fu%$ing things? I'm getting ready to put on a sissy bar & need to do it soon. I heard fishing line works best when done slowly & carefully...then goo gone to remove the rest of the sticky tape?

 

Yep that it, just take your time and Enjoy the results

 

Goo Gone first, let it soak in then fishing line and patience!

 

Thanks. I assume the same procedurefor tank emblems?

 

The reflectors on my bike, along with the flurry of stickers didn't make it past Day One. It was threatening to rain the day I brought mine home, so it went straight into the garage to play with.
WD-40, spray on, let it soak into the foam sticker (reflectors) and or glue (stickers), wipe off, repeat if needed. Been doing it forever on painted surfaces down to glass. Does a great job loosening up glue, and has never hurt any surfaces to date.
If anyone else has had a bad experience with this, let me know so I don't find out the hard way... Been lucky for almost 50 years!

 

I had luck with the following method:
Work a heat gun up and down the length of the reflector to get the glue hot. Take dental floss and start it behind the reflector on one end and run it through to the other end. There will be glue remaining on your fender....work your thumb on it from one end to the other and it will ball up and come off. Be careful, it will still be hot, but it releases better when it is.

 

wd-40 let soak and use fishing line. Take your time and dont be to forceful work it slowly.

 

A bit of blowing with a hair dryer and dental floss worked for me. Any sticky left, WD40 on a rag and some rubbing.

 

keep it simple . A hair dryer then pull em off by hand . Then use WD 40 and wipe the glue off. Wd 40 is the best to get glue off anything

 

That's what I've always done also. Usually, most if not all of the tape comes off with the reflector. Used same process on lower sliders.

Quite a bit more effort required to remove the tank emblems, for me anyway.
