Removal of tank grip adhesive
Help needed.
One of my tank grip pads has come loose at the edges, I need to remove it and clean the old adhesive off the tank Can you suggest the best way to get the old adhesive off? I then need to get a double sided adhesive backing and stick it back on. Any ideas on the best product for this?

Google HG sticker remover. As long as there is clear coat on the paintwork it'll bring it off

Nail varnish remover, most of them are acetone and great at adhesive removal and cheap to boot. With any solvents be sure to try it on a part of the paint you cannot normally see.
