FLTR Bubble removal
I replaced my "bubble" this morning with the SERG black headlight bezel.
I took a small flat blade screwdriver (about 6" long), and covered the bottom 3/4" of it with 2-3 layers of masking tape, effectively making the tip about 1/2 inch wide.
I started at the top right "clip" location and gently inserted the screwdriver tip, and started pressing down against the bubble while putting gentle pressure upward on the edge of the fairing (just like opening a paint can, but very gently).
At the same time, I was kind of pulling on the top edge of the bezel, and the thing popped right out. The one on the left was much easier, (since the right one was lose already) and then the entire bubble hinged down from the top, pivoting on the lower attachment "clips".
It came out so easy, that I reversed the procedure, and re-installed it and removed it a couple of times. Very easy, and mine was really dirty on the inside.
I do like the look of the Black SERG bezel on the Vivid Black paint, but to be honest, the bubble looked pretty damn nice once it was cleaned well inside and out.

"Supposedly" the FLTR headlight covers themselves are of a "softer" variety then the ones on the CVO Road Glide. So, you may find the headlights getting worn, scratched or chipped easier then the CVO variety. I remember reading that here on the forums some time ago. YEA, it looks good without the plastic cover but....
