Paint/Trim Question
Hi Ya'll,
Newbie looking to buy my first scoot in over 25 years. Have a question concerning the chrome trim piece on top of the tank of the 1200 Custom. Is the tank painted under that piece and can it be removed without damaging the paint? For some reason, the chrome look doesn't measure up to the rest of the bike.

Mines coming off to be replaced by some pinstriping. I think they are ugly as hell.

RE: Paint/Trim Question
somebody correct me if I am wrong. The trim piece will come off with dental floss or fishing line and then use WD-40 to take off any remaining adhesive. Supposedly this will not damage the clear coat. I have a body shop owner with a custom chopper who tells me they can pinstripe over the existing clear coat.
