Saddlebags trim / plastic film over strips
I didn't know they were there, until I washed at a car wash, I was using the "engine degreaser". When I noticed that one of them was hanging off. Scared me. After noticing the Japanese writing on them, I picked and pulled them all off. Not sure if it was the "degreaser" or the high pressure spray, but it wasn't to hard to get them off. Seems like the dealer should be pulling that off, when they prep the bike for sale.

I went ahead and pulled the OEM pieces off and added the chrome trim from the auto parts store. It really makes the bags look better, I think. Here's the picture...

Loafer, how many years were they on before they started coming off with the degreaser?
MoBandy, I love what you did with the trim pieces, I just worry that if I pulled mine off, I wouldn't be able to get the new trim pieces to look that nice like yours. I wonder if something like WD-40 would work without hurting the paint of the saddlebags. I think someone should try it, and let me know............................

I said earlier that I liked how it looked with out any strips on the bags so I went out to the garage and took mine off and I like it better so at the nationals I will have some strips for sale at the swap meet.

The bike almost two years old, when they started to come off at the car wash. I was amazed that I hadn't noticed they were there.

I used WD-40 on mine after pulling the old strips off. I sprayed it on a rag and used that to wipe off the adhesive. It didn't seem to affect the paint any.

Gadget offered a cheap alternative. Chaek his site, but it involves about $20.00 and peel-n-stick chrome trim thats used on cars, available at Autozone and such places. Worth looking into. I just bought a new door for my right side on E-bay, and it already had the strips on it. Got the door for $159.00. Those strips sell for like $46.00 each, the door list for $403.00.

I couldn't tell you if the plastic is on or off mine. I bought my Nomad new and haven't had any issues with them. Mine look good.

Get down there real close, if they are still on there, there will be a Japanese word on each strip.

I peeled them off my 99 last fall. Thought the stripes looked strange and when I had it on the lift I realized it was because of the plastic still covering the strips. It actually came off mine pretty easily which really surprised me but they sure look better now.
