RogerRoger Posted April 15, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2016 New member here. I used to be part of Venturers but didn't keep my subscription up. Anyway, I've already learned quite a bit and placed my order for Carbon One front braces. Anyway...I'd like to remove the cowling chrome trim on my Midnight Venture and would like some help. Are these trim pieces simply attached with mounting tape? Should I simply use a heat gun on low to loosen the adhesive? Sorry if this question has already been covered. I spent some time with the search tool and couldn't find a thread. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV1100SE Posted April 15, 2016 Share #2 Posted April 15, 2016 The "eyebrows" can be removed. You can use a fishing line and work back and forth to saw thru the tape underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwrmcusn Posted April 15, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 15, 2016 I used the line from my weed wacker to gently "saw" it off. It was probably a bit thicker than most fishing line but it worked very well. It leaves a bit of residue that I worked off with peanut butter (creamy of course! (smile)).

bongobobny Posted April 15, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 15, 2016 Yup!! Just held on with double sided tape! A little heat along with fishing line or similar tool and presto they come off! Rubbing alcohol or WD40 removes the left behind sticky goop! Welcome aboard to Ventureriders, you will find us a very friendly and helpful group!!
