slowly...
The stickers on the inners should pull off easy and leave little to no residue. The tank is a different story. I picked mine off with my fingernails and it comes off small bit by bit. Then I used goo gone. You can use many things for doing this. Since you're painting the bike it shouldn't matter.
Haven't removed them from frame, would imagine they're similar to the tank without the paint to worry about in most cases.
Why isn't your painter doing this as part of his prep

I wouldn't remove the important stuff from the frame, just any warnings that are there.

I am helping with the prep becaus the painter is a friend of mine. I am starting to think that I should have him do all of the prep also.(dadofthree @ Aug. 23 2007,18:14) The stickers on the inners should pull off easy and leave little to no residue.

Are you having the inners painted to match. I like it when they're sanded slick, and make sure he uses something in the paint to make it flexible for removal, etc. without cracking on ya.
Make sure you post up pics

I used a blow dryer and goof off. The blow dryer got the main decal off and I removed the glue with goof off.

I used bumber sticker remover and a lot of fingernail. Once I got picked the last bit of sticker off, I sprayed the remover on a cotton cloth and scrubbed the last bit of glue off. Then went over with wax. If i were going to paint it I would probably use the sticker remover or bug and tar remover with a brillo pad or something else crazy and quick like that.

You can also let'em sit out in the sun, get the parts really warm. It actually helps a lot (assuming it's hot and sunny where you live).
