Heat gun and then if any residue is left use a bit of goo off to remove it.

Didn't he fit them himself? I'd pressure wash them off then use some WD40 on the residue.

Defintely the heat gun, but i've found using that with goo-off or rubbing alcohol will work well. Pealing away the sticker while it's the hottest works well, but be prepared to burn some finger tips

Personally i wouldn't go with a pressure washer, as some of the parts on this bike are not rated to take pressurized water and can be damaged. People have damaged their dash, for example, by pressure washing.

You don't need to go to the expense of a heat gun, the wifes Hair Dryer will do exactly the same job....but dont tell her that!!

Hair drier is way safer than a heat gun and just as effective.

Define safer. If you buy a garbage heat gun it isn't variable with high and low speed.

I can turn mine down to a cooler temp then your STD hair dryer.

If you have a hairdryer already, you can just use that though if you don't find the need for a heat gun.
