Hey everyone! I need advice on the best way to remove the stock decals. Some that came on the bike are just not going to do anymore. I gotta add some personality! So what advice can the other esteemed Bulleteers give me?

I think the decals are under clearcoat,could be wrong,but they seem deep.

Oh, this doesn't sound like it is going to be easy, huh?
-
no.

It sounds like I will have to remove the tool box covers, strip and repaint them, then add new decals before a new layer of clearcoat is applied. Does this sound accurate?
-
you'll likely be OK just sanding the boxes smooth, priming, and painting. If the OEM paint is in decent shape the new paint'll stick just fine. Stripping to bare metal is a PITA, although if you're a perfectionist, have at it!
-
alright, that is some good advice about just sanding and repainting. I will try and fight the urge to go all perfectionist.
