Title: 2019 CVO Streetglide primary sticker removal. Agh!!!
Post by: ASTROGLIDE on November 12, 2019, 09:28:31 PM
Hello, I'm new to the forum. I just bought CVO Streetglide and the primary sticker WILL NOT come off.  Any suggestions from someone that has had success? I've tried, WD-40, a hairdryer, and Plastic razor blades to no avail.

Nope but everything else including adhesive residues left behind from the fugly reflectors on your forks. It's cheap and works well for tons of applications.

This no normal label. It's vinyl or rubber and extremely hard. This why I want some one experienced with removing it. I've used Goo gone before and that's why I didn't bother with it because I'm almost certain it won't work for this do I don't want to waste my time unless I know for sure through someone else's experience with this sticker. It is that much of a pain in the ass. Thanks for your help though.

Why didn't your dealership remove it for you?  I'm guessing most bikes are not delivered to customers with those decals still in place. :nixweiss:  Call them and see what they have to say.

Jerry, they probably can't...might void the warranty... ;D

As for decals, I've had to remove all of mine as most are DOT/EPA warnings required to be in place upon sale.

Astroglide, those labels are a bear...and really complicates things since it's on a blacked-out/painted part instead of a chrome part.  Get some mineral spirits, soak what's left and see if that helps.  If you already used WD40, I'm not sure the mineral spirits will work either but it's worth a try.

There is another called super goof off, comes in a small can like 3 and 1 oil, about 4 dollars at lowes.

I actually got super glue off of my glasses with it.

The dealer is replacing the entire primary cover. This is why I was asking 'only' for people that had experience with this exact decal and issues with removing it. I was aware of most of the answers from experience and a rudimentary Google search. This sticker is a bitch. Maybe I should have phrased it as imagine pouring melted vinyl on your painted primary. How would you remove it? Lol. Anyways I do appreciate your interest in helping and all your input. Problem solved.

I was told by a old car painter that he would use creamy peanut butter on old masking tape that was left on for years do to a project stall. Seems the oil from the peanut butter would soak into the tape and after a couple days  it would peal off.
I would imagine after a few days of soaking the mice would probably eat most of it off.

By the way for those folks that would like to know what happens when you put Goo Gone on powder coat. Thank God I knew I was getting another primary cover before I tried this experiment.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191113/f35f41741ed05d30e2f3d1d76c66317c.jpg)

That decal on my 2020 CVO Limited with the satin chrome finish easily peeled off. And that was after I left it on for a couple hundred miles.

I contacted Harley too for the warranty claim and they told me they had never heard of it but the service manager at the dealership said it was the case quite often and a lot of people left them on or spent hours cleaning it off if they could get it off. His advice was to just get some plastic razor blades from the auto parts store and go to town.

How was that? It says only the customer can remove it. That is good though.

Multiple grades of Goo Gone, Goof Off exist. You need the one for Plastic/Painted surfaces only for working on a bike or car. Mine was stuck on the 09 and I removed the outer sticker then soaked the inner residue with Goo Gone safe for plastic and it smeared off with just a little effort.

I would figure one that safe for paint wouldn't have presented a problem. Not the case

Damn, That's pretty screwed up.

Hope the new one doesn't have a sticker on it when it gets delivered.

What exactly does that label say?  They used to have one on the primary of CVO's that indicated they used SYN3 in all three holes, and there is no regulatory requirement for that label to exist or be left on the bike for the customer to remove.  What does this one say?

As for the subject bike, I can't help but wonder if the label was applied to an uncured painted finish, which would make it almost impossible to remove.  Otherwise, it should have come off just like all the other labels do, without excessive drama.

Mine came right off after riding home from dealer, so engine was warm, I don’t know if that had anything to do with it, but it came right off, stuck it on my toolbox

I have removed all stickers and reflectors from every bike I get. No "Huffy" bike reflectors on my bike! Some definitely come off easier than others. Some good ideas here that I haven't tried.

Got a new cover put on by the Harley Dealer. Awesome! Sorry for the late response.
