    Bury the hair dryer onto the thing set on high. You wont hurt the anodizing with but watch the surrounding plastic areas.

    If you have a sharp piece of plastic to wedge under there to get it started, that might be of some help too.

    Try using a dinner knife, they are strong and not too sharp, also, try using WD40 on the blade, it will stop the adhesive from re-sticking! Once you get it started, you should be able to rip it off!
    Good luck

    I think I just used a putty knife and muscle, but a heat gun will help, hairdryer may not get hot enough.

    You are going to lose about 10 rwhp for taking a sticker off your bike...

    Why not just use an exacto to cut the cf around the scott's mount? That's what Femmekat did

    Just keep working at it with a hairdryer. Maybe you need a heat gun, but heat softens the glue. Plastic putty knife will help. Goo gone works for the glue, or if you can get your hands on it, Big Orange from ZEP is the best. Let it soak for 5-10 min then use a plastic knife or bondo paddle to scrape it off.
