Removing Tail Piece?

[mickvp]

Good evening foccers!

I have had a search and come up empty, so Im hoping one of you knowledgable foccers can help. I want to remove the tail unit & grab handles from my thou so I can have them resprayed/polished up. is there a guide on here to get the things off? I assume I need to take the undertray off first then work up from there?

Oh, and has anyone ever removed a datatag before? I have one of those on my tailpiece, came on the bike, but its mounted squint and it does my head in so I would rather remove it as I havent mentioned it on my insurance anyway)

Scratch the first part. found a guide on Pat's site:

Remove grab handles
Underneath pop the pin fastners
Single fixing on top
And wiggle should come free moving it rearward
Keep checking just in case I missed summat

what about these datatag efforts, is there anyway for me to remove them without mullering the paintwork (I would imagine not, as thats kinda the point of them?).

I dont have any certificates or anything for them, so they aint doing me any good and they are god awful looking.

Try  warming the sticker up with a hair drier, it might soften the glue up enough to peel it off. If it does come off use something like wd40 to remove any remaining glue then a bit of t-cut and polish.
