Plastic film thingy on Heritage rear fender
When I remove the rear seat on my 2002 Heritage, I notice there is a plastic film on the rear fender where the rear seat goes. I suspect it is there to protect the rear fender for the seat. Can I remove the film with impunity if I want to temporarily go without the seat, or am I setting myself up for a scratched fender? I think the film looks like crap.

Remove it slowly with a hair dryer and you'll leave no glue behind. THEN, you can reuse it: It retains sticky, so you can just plop it in place when you need it and it comes right off afterwards (no heat gun). (keep it in a clean spot where it doesn't pick up crap that might scratch your paint next time you use it)

TIP: This is what I did. I run my sled solo 95% of the time. I have so much money and work in my bike yet here was this dumb but purposeful piece of film that looked hideious when I removed my rear seat. I peeled it off, cleaned the fender and waxed it clean. I then got a very soft 100% cotton towel and I cut it to exact size as the rear seats I use. When I throw a seat on I now have this piece of soft cotten to fit under my seat. You can not see it and I have ran it now for a good 6 months and yet to have a single scratch or scuff. Good luck!!
