Who has taken them off ?

Seems like many take 'em off because they get damaged quite quickly. Mines barely been ridden off road and although the paintwork is mint the left hand rad cover has some graphics damage so they are coming off..............hot hair dryer do the trick or did you use something more 'serious' ?
 
I think a hair dryer would be fine, most of mine got removed with a hot wash.

Warm them up and they should peel off fine. Failing that i got some of the remaining small bits off by sliding a sharp knife blade under them.

Hairdryer or heatgun ... whichever don't keep the heat in one place!! keep moving it across the decal. Its too hot for your skin when the nozzle is 6" away and burning :)
if the decals are thick they will take a lot of heat.
if they need a little help work a piece of fishing line under whilst someone ele plays the heat.

Mine just about fell of on there own, only needed a few spots of encouragement with a heat gun. You got something else to put on by any chance?

He had the heat gun the wrong way round..... and melted!:D

Funnily enough, I am thinking of a black/grey/white design to, so if you have the address of the guy who made your vinyls, please send it over.

try this

i have a small shark steam cleaner
like a glorified kettle
warms the stickers up a treat
gently and very quickly peel a corner
keep the steam aimed under it
and it will v quickly come off
no damage to paint
then polish off the glue if there is any bits left on
then u can leave it
or call two wheeled humvee for his stickers :thumb2
 
I would be interested too. Mine have long since departed this world, scraped to bits. I like the grey, would look good with my xmoto low seat.
