Have a new PP and want to remove all the frame stickers. The last time I removed from my 010 I pulled some paint off the frame by just peeling the sticker. How have others done this?
If you live in California, do not remove the sticker that states compliance with the emission regs or you may be sorry later when you try to sell it. Ducati, used to put a second one of those under the seat in case you wanted to remove the frame sticker, but I'm not sure if they do that anymore.
Silverthump, I see you are now on MS #2. I take it that you like the bike???Have a new PP and want to remove all the frame stickers. The last time I removed from my 010 I pulled some paint off the frame by just peeling the sticker. How have others done this?
Sorry, meant to say bringing a bike into California. The bike has to have the sticker identifying that it meets CA emissions when they do the inspection at DMV.Peels mine off and they did not come off in one piece. They are gone.
Guess I cant sell it now :think:
Been a long time since I sold a motorcycle in CA - how would a missing emissions compliance sticker ever come up? Turns out I did take mine off and I did retain it, but it's not quite readable.If you live in California, do not remove the sticker that states compliance with the emission regs or you may be sorry later when you try to sell it.

Pull them....you'll be fineI was warned not to take the stickers off due to different states, namely CA requiring them for registration. It was suggested to use red 3M vinyl wrap instead to cover the stickers. Anyone know if this will work well, or would it end up removing the stickers any way upon removing the vinyl? Also, does anyone know of a "Ducati Red" vinyl?

+!I just did this Tuesday. Heat gun on high for 20-30 seconds and get a corner up and work across lengthwise with your fingernail until you can peel it off. Use a citrus based adhesive remover (3M, Goo-B-Gone) to remove any residue, no chance of paint damage. Some states (CA) require these be attached to the bike so I re-attached them in the trunk pan under the seat. I'll take a picture in the AM. The bike looks 100% better without that crap covering every spar.
