What if there is clear over them? Can you get them off without honking up the paint job? |

Not trying to sound like a smartass here but, you could look for a sidecover that is the right color and sell this one to someone looking for that color. |

I searched for months for a silver one with blue decals...the right one was stolen along with my battery and was mint (like the left one i still have). The black and red one I ended up with has "picked at" decals that look like shit so i think anyone would want to get them off. there is clear coat over them and when i pick at it the top layer comes off in millimeter size pieces and leaves residue. it's a mess. i was hoping there was some chemical that would pull it right off... |

this may be pretty obvious, but....if the cover is the wrong color anyway, and the clear coat is pealing off anyway, i would just sand the thing down and be rid of the offending decal. you gotta do it anyway if you want to paint the cover to match your bike.  |

My spares actually do not have decals, they are primed, ready to paint.
