Good information, thanks to all.

Next question:  Does anyone know of a very close color match / recommended
paint for the (black) plastic?  I only want to paint my upper and lower
front fairing.

Thanks!

Jeff in WA

I've heard that using nylon fishing line in a sawing action while heating
and pulling, but I haven't tried it.

I took the pink ones off with a hair dryer and rubbing my finger over 
the glue on the same day I bought it. Took one 1100 off and it looked 
naked so I put a new one on.

The GPz decals are on top of the clearcoat.  The gas tank decals never are. 
I debadged the GPz carefully peeling, then cleaned up the adhesive with 
acetone, used CAREFULLY as it seemed to soften the paint, temporarily.

No... on top but feathered out at the edges so they may appear that way.
