I'm fitting the Heed crash bars and would prefer to remove a few panels.
I've followed the video from Ilium
but get stuck on the panel with the BMW badge. I've taken the screws out, popped the bungs, but can't dislodge the 2 tabs and velcro near the top (approx 1min 50sec in the video)...don't want to snap anything.
Does anyone have any tips to remove these panels?

Re: Help removing panel
Thanks for speedy reply. I'm getting so much resistance. I feel that the velcro might be the biggest cause.

Go to the 9:40 mark and see if this provides additional information on removing the upper panel(s).

Re: Help removing panel
Thank you...they make it look so easy!
I managed it in the end getting my arm behind the panel and using a tea spoon to pry the velcro apart...after that the tabs came out easily.
