Has anyone removed the rear fender strips and if so how did you remove them?

They are just held on with the 3M body molding tape.

Goo gone and fishing line..   The reflectors came off my forks that way.

NGH, yeah they did, really happy w/ the seats.  Had to add a few washers though both front/back.  Now I want to change handle bars, not sure what type though.

Pod - I just got back to this thread... I have the Wild One Chubbys 575 bars and I LOVE them. They put my hands in the perfect position for me, and I think that the 1 1/4" diameter makes them look much better and beefier than the stock bars. A lot of folks here have installed them.

ALSO - When I installed the new Mustang Super Touring Wide Vintage seat, I DID have to remove the trim strips from the rear fender to get it to fit. Didn't have to do that with the Corbin DualTour nor the H-D Hammock seat...

Ken.  I didn't have to remove my strips for the Mustang.  I did snip off the rear bumpers off the rear pillion tho   Then tapped that area smooth with a ball peen hammer. Went right on then.

I have a Corbin SoloTour on my bike, and I did NOT have to remove the fender strips for it. It fits right over them, and the rear bracket sits right on top of the bolt hole in the fender. I also have a H-D Hammock seat for two-up riding, and it fits over the fender strips as well.

I can't comment on any other seats. Even though on the H-D site it says that you have to remove the fender strips to install the Hammock seat... you don't. I've had it on the bike over the fender strips, and it fits just fine.

I tried one of the demo hammock seats and the metal tab at the back won't sit flush to screw it down. Am i missing something here ?

thanks
