A hairdryer and Goo Gone are my tools of choice.

Ditto on the hairdryer, a heat gun will blister the paint. Goo gone is just as good as Zippo fuel

I just used my fingers to pull it off and then used some 3M adhesive remover to finish the job.

I was told not remove the tank badges because your bike will now look like a brand X imitation... JK
