A good solvent for superglue is acetone (nail varnish remover) but this might fook up the printing on the front, you could try applying it sparingly with a cotton bud and dont let any run onto the printed surface...

Acetone will eventually dissolve super glue but will remove the headtube badge paint first. Dimethyl Ketone (Acetone) is the main ingredient in nail varnish remover, it's a solvent.

What he needs is Isopropanol which is an industrial de-greaser and is safe for paint available from RS.

I didn't know isopropyl alcohol would work on superglue, learn something new everyday.
