Question Stainless Splash Guard

Just picked up the stainless splash guard that replaces the cheap plastic one that hugs the tire.

Stainless Splash Guard-splash-guard.jpg

The problem is this LaserGuard protective film that's on the visible side (once installed) of the splash guard.

Anyone familiar with this stuff? What's the easiest way to get it off without damaging the polished metal finish?

Any sheet metal/laser cutter workers in here, or anyone bought this part that can help out?

Thanks.

OK. Turns out I just had to stop being a ***** about it, but the stuff is coming off. Pain in the *** though. damn.

Lookin forward to getting this on. I'll post up some before/after photos when I do it. Going to wait until I put my new rubber on when I have the rear wheel off to do it.

Saw this part on a custom Fat Boy Lo at a dealership near my hometown in WV. Really cleans up the swing arm very nicely. Stay tuned.

I have one on mine. It's a pain with the tire on but it can be done. The hardest bolt to get in is the top left. when it's on you will love it.

Where'd you get it at? I've seen them on several bikes & they do look good.

I have one of those too .. It's diamond plate. I love it .. especially when it's just been cleaned and shines. I love shiny diamonds!

You can get one free when you buy a Platinum Bleed and Feed Air Ride Suspension.
