    Default Anyone successfully removed the Switch Support on gas tank? '21 F3 Limited

    Hi All,

    I'm preparing to wrap my '21 F3L. The wrap I selected may not accommodate the switch support/keypad mounted on the gas tank.

    Has anyone successfully removed this part? If so, how? I don't want to break anything if I decide to remove it rather than cutting the wrap to fit around it.

    I don't see any screws or anything holding it in that hole .... I would say it's a press fit ..... if it were me I would spray the edge with dry silicone., CAREFULLY try and lift a corner and see what happens. .... good luck .... On my 14 RT there is little coffin shaped piece in the center of the handlebars ... I popped it out and painted it ..... then pushed it back in ..... good luck ..... Mike

    I just had my Tank panel painted and It has a few plastic tabs that I used a small flathead screw driver and it just popped out... Putting back in was harder then popping it out.
