Hey,

anyone know any good ways in removing a number board from the front nose fairing without it taking off the paintwork?

Thanks

Warm it with a hair drier. Then warm and peel slowly as you go.

And I've also seen it suggested that it helps to have warm water to run down behind the number board as you progress, to help with the peeling.

Don't forget that you can remove the residue of the 'glue' with a little label remover* (and I mean a little)

*Servisol is perfect for the job.
