1) What should I use to remove the "WARNING" sticker from right above the gas cap?

2) Any suggestions for (easily) removing the writing (GS500) on the rear plastics?


Much appreciated.

Heat works about the best.  Either a heat gun or a blowdryer :thumb:

Also, use something like an old credit card while heating up the text/pinstripe/etc.  I started yesterday.  Very slow process.  I should be done by summer 2005.
LIFE should NOT be a journey to the GRAVE with the intention of arriving SAFELY in an attractive and well PRESERVED body, but rather to SKID in sideways, CIGAR in one hand, favorite beverage in the other, body thoroughly USED UP, totally WORN OUT, and screaming WOW - WHAT A RIDE!

Believe it or not, but peanutbutter works great on the tank. I tryed to just peel my sticker off not useing heat or anything like that. Bad Idea. For about three weeks I tryed to scrape the leftover adhesive with my fingernail. Then one day while working on it my mom came out, slaped some peanutbutter on it and it was clean in about 10 minutes
You cant drink all day if you dont start first thing in the morning

I wish my lawn was emo, so it would cut itself.

If there's no bacon, it might as well be vegetarian
