Removing stickers without damage-any ideas?

[james1973]

Does anyone have any ideas how to remove 20 year old stickers from a bike without damaging them? Hair dryer, hot soapy water?? Ideally I need to remove them so I can get the originals scanned in and new stickers made for my E.T.- thanks!

hair dryer will get them of but do it slowly .you can buy the decals of ebay now and then.

Sharp stanley knife blade to lift the edge then use lighter fluid which disolves the adhesive then slowly lift the decal whist applying more fluid. It stinks, makes your fingers white and takes ages but it works, I did it with my Firebird frame and forks

no shit if its 20 years old just shot blast the whole thing ,repaint,chrome,powder whatever ,or has it been in pommy land all its life and never seen the sun?

Thanks guys for your help, sticker sets for the ET seem to be pretty rare so will attempt removal and get some printed up for anyone else who needs them!
