Saddlebags trim / plastic film over strips
Tuff call..... The oem strips are brushed stainless steel, just wicked thin SS, on sticky tape.
Fingernail works, so cow horn would work, but it's tuff getting cow horn anymore. Once the film cracks like desert mud it's really hard to get that stuff off GENE! A hair dryer might help alot. I really don't dare reccomend any chems.. Alternate chrome trim can be cut with a shapened pipe/chisel in any shapes you want. That's easy.

It so happens I make powda horns and have some cow horns, but I am aware most people don't. I suppose I could cut a few scrapers and you guys could mail them around.

These comments were helpful as I just bought a 2006 Nomad 1600. One bag had no plastic strips and the other had all three, but one was starting to come off with another one soon to follow. I couldn't find any place that had the OEM strips available, and even if they did, I think the cost would not be worth it.
I ended up removing the three strips from the bag that still had them. As others have mentioned, they had the plastic film with Japanese lettering. They actually ended up quite easy to remove. On one I used fishing line to floss it off - worked just fine, but did leave a good amount of adhesive. The other two I pulled off - worked even better since the adhesive tended to stay with the strip so there was less to clean off. On one of the two I used a plastic putty knife to lift up the edge, and then pulled it off. I used Goo Gone Spray Gel to help dissolve the remaining adhesive (just sprayed on a rag and wrapped it around my finger to limit it to the channels of the strip and avoid the rest of the bag door) - worked great, although I still had to use my fingernail and the plastic putty knife to get some of the bits to come off. It looks great now, and I may end up leaving it just like it is. Or, I could always get the chrome strips mentioned above. |

Ive got a full set of all 6 strips that I took off of my 06 years ago. If anyone needs them sure I could come up with a price.
