What is the best way to remove those "always wear a helmet" stickers off a bike without leaving a giant mess behind? I have a flat black bike if that matters at all.
Thanks in advance,

Blow dryer, goo gone, WD40, patience...
I nicked my tank ever so slightly removing these (my bike had three), but used the same method mentioned here: Heat tank with hair dryer, then peel slowly, then follow up with WD40. I also used some bug & tar remover followed by washing and waxing the tank afterwards, since you'll strip any wax/sealant off the tank doing the above.

Just dont use break fluid... lol
So all the above meathods will work well unless...The are from a 10+ older bike. When its older the compounds in the glue were different and age may have affected it.
My suggestion is heat with hair dryer (Or carefully with heatgun is on plastic)
Peel showly (Use a plastic or rubber scraper to assist)
If you have alot oif residue left over you can try goo gone (None automotive one) if that does not work they you should try an automotive adhesive remover. Like 3M or similar product. They one i used was one not recomended for plastics so be sure to tru it on a small hidden patch first. But as long as you dont soak it plastic and paint should be fine. Use a shop rag to apply it wait for 10 seconds and used a credit card or somthing similar to peel the gum. Reapply as needed.
If still have some residue you can use a dish sponge with a green scrubber on it with some of the stuff but it could leave some swirls not a problem for me since when i did it i was prepping for paint.
When you done using chemicals wash the area with waster or clean rag to ensure the nasty stuff isnt sitting on the paint. Most solvent evaporate almost instantly so it should not be a big deal.
Also dont do what i did a do it in your living room. Stuff stinks and will give everyone in your house a head ache.

Brake fluid to bad for the paint but you have to let it sit for a bit. If your careful you'd be fine. However I think there are better options.
