Seems like I used goo-gone for this. Not totally sure, that was about 2 years ago. Too many miles, and too many beers to remember those details.

WD40

Let it soak a bit, go after it with a real soft cloth you don't mind trashing, reapply when it dries up a bit.

That will probably also remove the clear coat from the paint.

Not sure if you can get it in the states but the very best thing for removing adhesive is Eucalyptus Oil, Aussie stuff, has many other uses too,

Purchased and installed my sissy bar this afternoon looks good. I removed the "reflectors" fom the fenders as instructed but couldn't get the adhesive off without scratching the paint.... any tips on getting that type of adhesive off painted surfaces easily without marring the finish??[:@]

patience

Depending on what the adhesive is on, I sometimes use nail polish remover.
