Changes, Tribute and Keeping it in the family.

[SouthportFLRT]

Yesterday I attempted to post a photo in reference to the Cobra Trunk Guard that I installed. Yep, the pic posted sideways. Undaunted I will once again attempt to post 3 photos. I have since added the H-D Luggage Rack but sadly, unbeknowst to me at that time, some silicone was on a finger or two and was unceremoniously smeared onto the black trunk. Have attempted to remove the offending marks but without much success. 91% Isopropyl alcohol, Meijer's Glaze, WD-40 all for naught. Anyone else have an answer..I am willing to try The silicone is "clear" but leaves a dull mark. Oh well...there won't be a next time I guess. So yeah....as the title suggests...the Luggage Rack is the Changes.

The Tribute is my license plate to my male GSP that sadly we lost to osteosarcoma on 02/28/22. And the Keeping it in the Family is the addition of H-D Slipstream floorboards, Brake pedal and shifter pegs that also adorn my wife's FatBoy. Some might realize that I turned her FatBoy into a Bagger several years ago. A winter project that she truly loves and I am quite proud of. Her pinstriping was done by The Wizard, Steve Chaszeyka, during the period that she was undergoing treatment, radiology and chemo for her own battle with cancer. Thankfully she won!!

Now to post the pics. Hopefully not sideways but at this moment all bets are off.

Try Easy Back Oven cleaner - usually works. Try first in a not so visible spot.

Heat the area up a bit with heat gun or hair dryer, and try this

I have used Easy Off Oven Cleaner on the chrome exhaust when wife melted part of her boot. Don't think I will attempt to use that caustic of a product on the paint. Thank you anyway.

Thanks Jack. I will again use the Goo Gone but this time with gentle heat. Thanks.

James, I don’t know of anything that will “cut” or breakdown silicone. With everything clean and dry (especially your hands) try rubbing firmly with your thumb in one direction only. You would be attempting to lift the edge of the silicone and roll and peel it off of your paint. Good luck.

The addition of the luggage rack dresses up the trunk. The addition of the Custom Dynamics ( not HD) luggage rack lamp really looks good.
