TC gas cap cover removal/replace_anyone done this?

[Cu Dubh]

Has anyone removed the gas cap access cover on the TC tank? I'm trying to put a vinyl wrap on that shiny cover and haven't figured how to remove it to do the job.

I can remove the cell phone holder but haven't figured out how to remove those covers.

I could do it in place but could do a neater job with it off the bike.

Its hard to tell just how involved that is. Some RR is remarkably simple while some requires partial disassembly of the bike. Good luck.

Agreed. For example, the cell phone assembly is remarkably easy to RR.

Finally got around to seriously looking at removing the panel from the TC's tank... it is remarkably easy.
5 screws total: 2 upper, 2 center, and 1 lower beneah the front of the seat. 4 are inside the panel and all are directly accessible from on top, no interference bits to remove first.

When you get time Cu Dubh, post a pic or several.

Will do. I meant to do so but the process got ahead of me!

I finally posted a How-To for removing the tank panel. Unfortunately I posted it in the thread about vinyl wrapping the gas cap access cover. Link below:
