i have a buddy who powder coats so i was going to get a few parts PCed. the stock air cleaner cover seems to have a trim ring on it that says "103 CI" or whatever. is that trim ring just double sided taped on? meaning can i just pull it off and have the part powdered?

 

Yep. Double sided tape.

 

Yep - But I believe it's impossible to remove that trim ring without ruining the damn thing. Just a heads up. It's very thin and will bend damn near just by looking at it. Gonna have to purchase another.

 

Replacement trim rings can be purchased from Harley for a few dollars.

 

took it off and all went well. yes the ring was bent quickly but i don't care about that. but it wasn't quite double sided tape it was some awful, tacky foam like crap holding it on. was a little bit of a pain but all went well and heat gun helped a lot.

 

hit it from the back wiht a torch comes out clean and perfect, can be reused

 

Heat gun, dental floss and patience.

 

Soak it in gas.
