Does anyone know how this stupid black thing (picture accompanying) on the rear fender just below the license plate is attached or adhered?  It's not part of the stud that comes from the fender through the rear brace (already tried that) so I'm guessing Harley took an "adhesive approach" to this ugly little thing.  Was just hoping someone had already been there and done that before I tried just ripping it off.  Just about anything else will have to look better back there then that Stupid Black Thing on the Rear Fender.  

Thanks

I recall a two sided tape that they adhere emblems and the like.

TwoLane, could you please have someone take pictures that you could post of the various stages of your removal of the stupid black thang!  I am already laughing at the possibilities.........Har! [smiley=1syellow1.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

I think, don't have one in the garage to verify, but the B&B and the O&B both had a real pretty V emblem there, but slightly higher.  I thought that our tags half covered that.  Gotta go look.  Yes, that is it.  On the 04 SEEGs they did not have a luggage rack and their tag sits higher and this is a pretty emblem.  We with the 05 SEEGs get a piece of black plastic that holds our tags.  Why am I telling you this, you know what it does. You are asking how to remove it. I would think that hot hair dryer trick, but what will you do for holding your tag on. Do you have a replacement?   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

If you are reffering to the round black thingy,,,,on my bike, the license plate hangs down and just almost touches it.  With the vibration back there, it probably just keeps the license plate from touching the paint.

Yeah,  that's the obvious reason for it's existance on the fender of a beautiful, but why does it have to look like some cheap afterthought???I'm w/ TwoLane on this one..."Anything would look better than that"...........Har! [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=1syellow1.gif]

OMG TwoLane

I first glanced at your post and I thought
What's Tater doing with that black Ultra trying to keep up with you?


Rut Roh  I'm off topic again [smiley=nervous.gif]

Used to be a chrome emblem there on earlier CVOs.  Maybe this leads to better quality control?

OK, Again hanging head down, shuffling feet in dirt.  Why would I ever even try to answer a question and especially one who has so proven his worth in the garage as a mechanic.  Duh, sorry.  I ran out again and looked. You are so right, tmo465.  I thought that round plastic tab actually held the bottom of my tag. Of course, It does not.  Sorry, I will just exit stage left here and let you real mechanics talk.  Since this does not involve peel and stick, I got nothing to add to this thread.
Ohhhhhh a smiley for that one.

Yeah,

[spydglide]

the concho [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif](s) sound good!  Can't wait for the pictures.

Don, yeah that thing is just a sticker. I took the emblem off of an old road king classic windshield bag and put it back there with double sided tape. It looks a lt like the emblem on the 2004 seeg, ie: lots better.

OK. No hair dryer, but I bet you got a paint gun, as in one that gets hot and peels paint.

Uggggh, no I guess that is not a good idea,  

Front Page HD News "Man removes paint on fender trying to get SUBTOTF to release." Would that be covered by warranty?

I am sure you already put the old small thin screwdriver back there and tried to get it to release a little.  

OK, as I said earlier, I will just exit stage left and let the real wrenchers think about this.  This is making my head hurt, and it is past my bed time. I don't like daylight savings. Can't sleep at night, Can't wake in the morning.   [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Now that you remind me I even remember seeing it on the green bike Mike.  Had just slipped my mind.  Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it.
