Nope, it doesn't come apart at all...pop it and give it a light sand, 2 coats of satin black, or plstidip. It looks a hell of a lot better in black.

There are three hex head screws under the fender that hold the tail light on. Take them out unplug the harness from the tail light and take it off. Tape up lens, scuff chrome and paint. Put it back on and you're done.

Unless I am mistaken, the photo posted up by Gringoloco is of forum member Tweakin's '09 Street Bob ... a great looking bike ...

I think the plastic lens can be popped off ... although you would still need to tape off the light/mirror ....
