How hard is it to remove the chrome accent on the front fender of a Electa Classic Ultra Limited?

Yeh I think so. I want to buy a used 2010 but don't like the chrome double bars on the front fender and would want to remove them. It looks like it's not hard to remove this but just wanted to check. Like the cleaner look of the 2011 and 2012.

Yeah, 2 screws and a nut will get off the "bumper". You'll still have the fender light and chrome accent running down the fender sides.

A buddy of mine removed mine yesterday morning in his driveway. Took him all of 20 minutes and it looks much better without it.

If you find something please post it. I have been wondering if anything was out there to clean that light up too. I know there are covers and smoked lenses, but I can't believe some company didn't come up with some kind of chrome cover to completely replace it.
Thanks

I took the front bumper off my cop king as well. Like the look a lot better. Still would like to remove the little light as well. I'm keeping my eye out for a vivid black street glide stock front fender as my solution.
