I just had mine sandblasted when I was redoing my bike. Otherwise you need to just sand it forever to get through everything.

How do you get the decals of the gas tank? They are behind a layer of clear coat. I wanted to take those off also but don't really know how to go about it.

I just took mine off yesterday and I've been applying Goo Gone and it's taking forever but it is working. If you do use a hair dryer to remove the graphics then it guarentees a film but a slow peal w/ lite heat really doesn't leave anything. Well, now for the wd-40!

I used Honda Spray Cleaner and it got the gunk off.

the best and safest thing to use to take anything sticky off your bike would be to use denatured
Alcohol.

If you stated that the sticker is underneath the clearcoat, you would have to basically repaint the tank with all that is involved. First, you would have to sand the clearcoat off the tank, remove the sticker, repaint the basecoat then apply clearcoat. You could always just sand it down, reprimer, wetsand, basecoat, then clear coat.

Options are limited on the tank unless you plan on completely repainting.
