Almost exactly 20yrs after selling my beloved 83 interstate with over 210,000 miles I got the itch and had the good fortune to pick up a completely stock one with 42,390 miles on the clock.
I started dissembling tonight to thoroughly clean, replace cam belts, flush coolant and rebuild both brake master cylinders.
While trying to remove the faux tank shell I have hit an impasse. I removed the at and the two bolts under the seat and the cover wiggles but will not slide off.
I'm almost positive that these are the only two bolts you need to remove and figure some added leverage needs to be applied somewhere to pot the cover off the rubber front bumpers. As seen in the attached photo this shell is very pristine and I don't want to damage it! Any insight or tricks to pop this thing loose without damage
much appreciated!
