How do I get sticky L plates off plastic?

I've had to get a replacement bike after thieves struck last week. But the previous owner was a learner and I'm having problems getting the residue from the sticky back L plates off the plastic fairing and box. Any suggestions?

Answers:
Hairdryer or heat gun will melt the glue, and allow easy peel off.
WD-40 WORKS GREAT AND WILL NOT EFFECT PAINT/PLASTIC
white spirit will do the trick!
Try rubbing alcohol, if that doesn't work try Windex, spray it on a towel and let it soak the residue, then wipe off. The key is giving it enough time.
Good luck!
You won't believe it, but I promise it works! Plain old rubbing alcohol. You can find it anywhere and it doesn't leave marks and it completely takes the sticky off. Works like a charm!
WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY
Lighter fluid.
Hmm. You could try "Goo Gone" -- a product found at home hardware stores. I've used it for a long time to remove sticky residues (especially from peeled-off labels) from stuff with great success. You can see a picture of the bottle at this link:

Failing that, I would try a little rubbing alcohol, and if that doesn't work, rub a little vegetable oil into the sticky residue, then wash with soap and water.

Hope one of these works for you!
You could try lighter fluid but be very careful. Or nail varnish remover.
Don't use a heat gun you could easily melt the plastic.WD40 is the best.Spray some on to the glue and let it soak in for about 10 mins.Then rub it off with a cloth.You'll have to rub quite hard a keep spraying a little WD40 on everyso often to soften the glue.
rub jam on it
