Good old fashion elbow grease!Just peel them off.I use this method all the time.Its easier then some may think.Just take patience.Getting the residue off(if any)is somtimes just as time consuming, but still not too difficult.

 

I tried just peeling mine off... WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS!!! I used my girls hairdryer to warm the graphics and they came off like butta! Just peeling the cold graphic was not happening.

 

Depends on the size of the decal, i guess.I did the yamaha decal at the bottom of the lower fairings.Took about half an hour to 45 min.Even saved the letters for my toolbox.

 

i don't think you can take the one on the tank off since theres a clear coat over it.

i have an 04 r6 and hate the stripes; i'd take them off in heartbeat if i could do the ones on the tank too.

 

Just cover it up with some stomp grip

 

yea heat gun them then peel em off, should come right off with out leaving to much residue behind, and to get rid of sticky residue lacquer thinner should do the trick and should be safe to use as long as its a nice glossy finish, i've used lacquer thinner on trucks before to remove tape residue after doing spray in bed liners had no problem with paint. i would recommend waxing it after all that

 

Used some Goo Gone and a credit card to get mine off. The Deltabox and Yamalube ones on the lower fairing were a pain in the dick.

 

the farings dont look like they'll be too hard, the tank is clear coated though, how do i get that off? or do i just have to have the tank painted?

 

take a sander to the whole bike then give it a Fiat Race bike paint job

 

Post some pics once you are done
