Default RE: gas caps sportster

ORIGINAL: capttawes

I used a hairdryerand fishing line for some of it but mostly once the adhesive softened with the hair dryer I just slowly peeled it off. There was residue left on the tank but I just rolled most of it of with my finger and then wiped with some WD40. Be careful with the fishing line as I had some spots it contactcted the tank and puts hair line scratches in the clearcoat (you can buff out most out with Scratch-X and wax. I love the look of the bare tank. Standing in the dealer my wife and I both commented on not really liking the tank strip so I knew it was coming off before to long (I think it stayed on maybe 2 months).
Thanks for the tip. I thought I read somewhere that dental floss worked well, maybe I dreamed it. I shall give it a try this weekend and post the results.

I mentioned the fact that there are too few gas cap options for the 04 and newer sportster on my monthly online hd advisory panel discussion. These sessions have actually become quite productive and they ask some in depth questions about hd products and what we think the consumer wants. I always use this forum and my friends input to try and get hd to be more consumer friendly.
