Removing fender warning stickers

[cowboyona426]

Is there an easy way to get those annoying buggers off without using a heat gun? Harbor Freight has good prices on their guns, but I also saw some good deals on Ebay. Does anyone have any experience with any of the Ebay deals? I don't want to end up with a piece of crap. Thanks for any help!

Do you have a powerwasher?

I bought a couple heat guns off eBay for $25...not real good quality, but if all you're buying it for is to remove stickers, it will get the job done. Good deal for $25, but I don't expect them to hold up...that's why I got the two for that price!

Oh, dont take those off, its like the mattress tags. The warning sticker police will come take your bike away. ? I just peeled it off and spent the next million hours trying to get the residue off with denatured alcohol. ?

The heat gun sounds like a good idea, better get to harbor frieght.

I did mine with a heat gun. I still wore a blister on my thumb from rubbing on it. they have to be the hardest sticker to get off that I have ever seen. ?

apply heat to underside of fender.... ?

heat underside, a hair dryer will work! to get rid of the stickyness, use mineral spirts!! works wonders!!

Hairdryer should work. If you are concerned with deforming the pastic, mix some dish soap in a spray bottle with water - spray and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes, should come right off. ?

And the shroud graphics will peel off in a few months, but those stupid orange "no passenger" stickers would be on till 2014. ?

if you do it corretly you won't deform the plastic, just a quick go over and bam the adheasion loses it tension and gives out! then just pick a corner up with your finger nail and it's off, but remember to use mineral spirts to get rid of the sticky crap!

i would know what i'm talking about. my dad and own a industral graphic shop i apply and remove graphics for a living!

soap does nothing but clean, next time try it in the shower!!!hahaha

lol

Ironic isn't it? ?

There are a number of products available in grocery/variety/drug stores based on citric acid that do pretty well for removing adhesives, but one of the best I know of is WD-40.

Power washer and your thumb nail!

Mineral spirits or lacquer thinner will do the trick.

Wouldn't mineral spirit attack the plastic too? Thanks for all the input guys!!! ?

[riderman329]

Are you serious? Crap I better leave them on then, or the fuzz will find out about the missing tags on our pillows also... thanks for the advice ?

I took mine off with Goo Gone. That stuff works like a charm.
