OK, I took the plunge and finally removed the silly stickers on the tank regarding wearing a helmet, and loading. Used a heat gun to warm them up and then a small plastic paint scraper to peel. Then iso-alcohol to remove the adhesive. Followed by a wash and Meguiars wax. Looks clean and shiny now. A little difficult to do because I let it go for a while...….
When you've peeled them off, store them safely for about 50 years.
Restorers will pay an arm and a leg for them then, to stick back onto their latest CB1100 restoration museum piece!!
Ha, funny, Bazbro. When I went to go look at my bike for the first time, the original owner had a bunch of items lined up on a table for my inspection. The owners manual, shop manual, second key, and, all three of the tank decals, which he had carefully removed, and placed, in order and spacing, onto a clear piece of plastic.
At that point I thought to myself that this guy was as anal retentive as I am, and that this was the perfect bike for me.
Ya know, you can order all those decals. They are all in the fiche. Jus sayin.
