 I bought a used tour pack for a 17 CVO Street Glide, orange and black. On the back it says “let’s ride”. I would like to remove that lettering, what can I use to remove it without harming the clearcoat. The lettering isn’t clearcoated over so I would think a little thinner would do the job.
Thanks for the help

My first go-to for this is always rubbing alcohol on a microfiber or other soft cloth.  Go gentle and give it time.  You're after thorough not fast.

Is the lettering actually paint or just an adhesive backed decal (stick-on letters)?

If it is paint, I’ve seen pin stripe lettering taken off with EZ-Off oven cleaner (Lemon scent). No harm to clear coat, but may take several passes.  The detailer said that was their body shops go to product,

Saw this done on a Silverado P/U.

Please go with a lacquer thinner or rubbing alcohol or some other such product that won't strip clear coat.  Oven cleaner will eat paint, clear coat, and powder coat.  It's not a pretty-surface friendly cleaning product.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try

 The letters are painted on like what they would do at Sturgis on bikes, no clear coat.  Rubbing alcohol seems the way to go.

Another vote for rubbing alcohol & taking your time.
