Try using a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up and soften the glue.  With some heat in the system and some luck, you should be able to peel them off.

WD40 and a soft squeegee also could work but be careful of scratches!!! I did this on my helmet but looking at the helmet vs the bike, the helmet has much higher quality paint.

WD40 works great.  Just don't use a razor blade like I did and scratch your paint.

Hair dryer......if u can stand the heat on your fingers then your not doing any damage.
