Sticker Peelin'

When I got the Ninja 300 it was the special edition, and personally those special edition stickers were hideous. It really was one of the two reasons why I didn't want to buy it right off the market. I'm a bit aesthetic crazy when it comes to my bike. :| I remember taking the longest time to find my Ninja 250 because I refused to purchase any other color that wasn't white or black and at that time only bright ass colored 250s were for sale until 2-3 weeks into looking a black one popped up, etc, etc. Happily ever after, right?

BUT I digress, it was mentioned that the SE stickers were peelable so we did some research and found that it was pretty easy from what we can see. Now remember I'm no expert on this, all I am doing is sharing my experience on taking the stickers off the bike. Some people advised on using a heat gun, well I didn't heat gun so I used the next best thing: a blowdryer. Trust! It worked just fine (use in high heat).

1. Look at this hideous sticker...

I took the blowdryer and placed it over the stickers until it had this gummy and soft texture, had to be careful after burning my fingers a few times.

2. Blowdryer

Once it's soft, it easily came off the bike-- but you have to take it slow once you actually start peeling it or else the adhesive won't completely come off. But you can always take Goo Gone to it after, but that's just extra work and I'm relatively lazy. I would rather go slow and save myself some time.

3. Peel slowwwly.

I still managed to leave some small dabs of adhesive, but I just took some Goo Gone to it and it came off clean. Ta-da! All done! It was super easy, tedious, but easy.

4. Use some Goo Gone if adhesive left.

All clean and pretty! Off to get some vinyl work done. :)
