I tried picking the stickers off my Bombers without much success. I then tried heating them with a hairdrier first. They peeled off with ease. You'll probably need some white spirit to remove any reside afterwards.

hairdryer to soften the glue.

can buy something to take sticker residue off – although i'm sure theres a cheaper alternative.

Why? Fire will remove your decals. Science fact right there.

Agree with the hairdryer method. I use T-cut to remove the sticky residue though!

do not use a hairdryer, it will cook the bushes and leave the fork internals prone to explosion.

you might as well do what tree magnet said.

WD40 gets rid of the sticky residue as well.

There is a difference between cremation with a flamethrower and light stimulation with a hair drier…

light stimulation with a hair drier…

That sounds a tad, err, pervy to me! 😯
