Default Decal remove

Just bought a 06 Ninja 636. Would like to remove the tribal decals. It looks like they're under the clear coat. Any suggestions?

lol, a few ways. if you look at my bike i have done the same conversion. the ones all over the bike arent clear coated, just hairdryer and goop off.

the ones on the tank, easiest i found was to take a super sharp exacto knife and slowly trace the edges with firm push so that you cut into the clear. then just start to peal off the stickers and the clearcoat on top of them.

you will have to have it re-cleared anfter you sand the sharp edges left by the loss of the stickers local shop should be bout 100 to have just the tank cleared.

or just do what i did and go for a full paint while you have the take needing to be done. the way i looked at it itsaved me 100 later on cuz i would have changed the color anyway

hope this helps and welcome to the forum

i see you are fairly close, im planning a ride down to denver this summer, i could stop by and show you how the tank turned out
