What is the easiest ways to get these bastards off, there on there good.... any ideas, the best I've got so far is slowly scraping with a razor blade and then use adheasive remover like goo-gone.................................

The best stuff I've ever used is from 3M. I think it's just called Adhesive Remover. I've never seen it anywhere but an automotive paint shop. I've used it on my bike and on my truck as well as a buddies truck. There is nothing like it. I used to use a blow drying and my fingernails-not anymore! When you buy the adhesive remover, be sure to pick up a small plastic squegee. They are much easier to use than a fingernail. I never had any problems with damaged paint. If your stickers are under a clear coat, then forget everything I just typed. That is a different kind of problem...

Good luck.

Adhesive remover is the best that i've seen for removing "goo" off of things, but some adhesive removers have chemicals harmful to some materials like fiberglass. Spot check it first before using it on your entire bike.
