yeah alot of us have. It's just a sticker that comes off easily. Don't worry.

That was one of the first things I did 
Stickers on fender and rear swing arm peel right off, and any residue can easily be rubbed out with whatever wax, car polish you have and a CLEAN rag. I also suggest taking off the reflectors if your comfortable with that, atleast the ones on the front forks. If you use a hairdryer to gently heat them its pretty easy to take them off. Really cleans up the look of the bike
Am I missing something
Ummm... I think mine were put on with super glue. I have been having a bitch of a time trying to get them off. I had to peel the Honda sticker off in tiny tiny bits... gerrrrr.
How about removing the reflectors on the back. That was interesting trying not to scratch the fender.

Heat gun and brake cleaner ?
a buddy of mine had a cbr1100xx once that the po had used a heat gun on to remove stickers and warped the %$#* out of the tail section. be careful! personally i find heating with a hair dryer until warm to the touch is sufficient without much risk of ruining anything.
Doesn't brake cleaner have acetone and toulene and other stuff that eats paint? goof off, kerosene, lighter fluid, or even wd40 work well for removing residue and don't eat paint. finish the job with a spray detailer and you're good to go.

Yeah, I would be hesitant to put anything on the paint that could possibly eat the clear coat. This is way I used the hair dryer and a polish and was just patient.
The Rear reflectors on the fender were originally giving me a little bit of a hard time, but in frustration, I just grabbed the thing and started to twist (side to side), and wouldn't you know it they just popped right off after that Turned out that was a heck of alot easier. Someone else said they used a plastic scraper. I was about to do the same, and then wimped out cause I was affraid i would slip and scratch it
Hope this helps anyone else
