This might be a silly question, but is it ok to remove the VIN stickers and manufactures' stickers off the frame?
The silver stickers? Yup. Keep the one under your seat just in case. 'specially in CA.
What stickers? ;)

Is there an easy way to get them off, just in case i wanna keep them(vin # and all)?
i tried heating them up with a hair dryer and using a Kish stick to remove ...no luck ..shredded
you have a stamped vin on the head stock so your good to go
use acrosol to clean up the gummy crap let over
hair dryer worked for me.
you still have that sticker on your bike? ditch it already

Yeah, I know right!!! I just started some painting and realized how unsightly they actually are! Figured I needed to leave them on the bike here in Cali, with all their stupid laws and such >:(
Yeah, I don't know about CA and all their bs
I guess I'll be fine if there is a vin on the motor, the other sticker is just production info. And it seems the sticker on the underside of the seat has the same info, pretty much?!
Removing my stickers cost me some extra $ and a trip to the CHP for a vin inspection which was hairy as my bike was running illegal pipes and barely legal other equipment. It passed, but it would have been better if the stickers we repositioned somewhere else.....say under the seat. The CA DMV peeps didn't know where the sticker was supposed to be, only that it HAD to have a sticker on it.
