Decal removal

[flyer34]

Hey all,

I'm thinking about removing the 'FZ6' graphic decals from the sides of the front fairing on my black '08. Has anybody done this? Any difficulties? Do you like how it looks without the decals?

Thanks!

No I havent done this. However if you hit it with a hair dryer & hot soapy water you should be fine.

Every bike looks good without decals :thumbup:

There has been a thread on this.
Hopefully this will help you.

Yep, that thread has good info about removing several other stickers on the bike. I was hoping to find some good pictures of an 07-08, prefereably black, with the large graphic decals removed from the front fairing.

Wait a day or two and I'll take a pic of mine. The side stickers just pull off. No special sprays, creams or tools needed.

I have done mine and it is very easy to do. Let it sit in the sun alittle bit and just pull them off. I think they look much better with them off.

I used a heat gun that is designed to shrink model aircraft wing covering. It's basically a higher temp hair blower. Worked like a champ.

OUCH!!!!

I used Goof-off for the manufacturers data sticker on the right frame rail below the tank and the rest was taken off with a heat gun.

Baby oil work well on stickers too.

I thought I didn't like the lower cowl but in your case this is one of the best FZ's I've seen. Black is sweet.

Thanks. I was not crazy about it either. Thats why I bought the FZ because I liked seeing the motor. But the cowl is just small enought to cover a little bit of the engine and the bottom part of the exhaust. I think it is just the right size.
