Ok. 95 Husky. I love the looks of the bike but HATE the gay swirly sticker "highlights" on the plastic. I tried peeling, yeah right. PITA. Itallian glue must be super strength. I have'nt tried the heat gun thing yet.
How do you guys get stickers off plastic?

Heat gun should do it. Personally I use an old hairdryer and it works fine.
Although I haven't used it on Italian glue yet. :p

Not sure if it's the same for plastic, but on my Jeep I used a hairdryer to help remove the stickers, and then used mineral spirits to easily wipe up the sticky gunk.

The blow dryer works great to get the sticker off but the stickers on motorcycles have a very strong adhesive that will still be there.
I found that a 501 reducer (like a thinner) and a plastic putty knife works best. The reducer breaks it down and doesn't ruin the paint . Just lightly soak the adhesive with a cloth dampened with the reducer and it will start to bubble up. It becomes very soft and just scrape it away with the putty knife. You might have to resoak a bit it's a very quick and easy process.
Make sure to wash it thoroughly afterwards since the reducer is flamable.

I like carb cleaner or brake cleaner to remove the goo. I need to try the wd40 trick.
