2011 Yamaha V-Star 950. Pretty looking bike, he bought it with a salvage title. How it was totaled out I will never know as its literally just scuffed up and the handle bars are a little bent. Oh and the signals went knocked lose form the housings but we’ve fixed that already.
Any of you happen to know how to remove the paint markers they use? Automotive soap won’t touch it. My dad tried various other things to remove it but no luck. We didn’t want to ruin the paint but its really, very hard. Thinking about as a last resort using the car wash high pressure hose. Either way it looks like we will have to get some proper polish and a buffing wheel to fix the clear coat finish after we remove the marker. Oh and it sounds great as well. Even better than the 1400 Intruder.
P.S. Actual horse saddle bags but since we don’t have horses any more they have been transitioned to iron steed duty :P
Edit: (Success! Used the clothing steamer and the paint cleaned right off.)

very fine scotchbrite wet hand sanding would probably do it... though you’d have to be very carefull to not fuck up the paint past the point of being fine with a good buff
i hope someone else has a better suggestion

Gasoline will remove it, just wipe the gas off the clearcoat quickly. I once bought a two year-old salvaged SV650 for $800. Only fix it needed were blinker switches. I couldn’t imagine someone filing a claim after laying a bike down unless the rider died or was seriously injured, so I’m guessing that’s why you can find cheap salvaged bikes with minimal damage.

FYI, I tend to avoid doing illegal things in video games, like I avoid the plague. Except speeding, screw speed limits in the virtual world and real world for the most part. The other day I had to convince a buddy that we should go surface scavenging for resources in Elite rather than blowing up peaceful NPC traders for resources because quote “Its an Anarchy system so we won’t get in trouble”. Im like “Dude that doesn’t make it right”. :P

Quick update. My dad came just came in and told me he tried kerosene and the marker on the rear fender came right off. The front fender however must use a different kind of paint and still wouldn't remove.

You say that, but trust me I tried with GTA but damn I gave up real quick and now I have a record longer than a sheet of toilet paper lol but nah it's cool I'm sure we would mostly race and screw around, the three of us. Remember, on PS store the premium online edition is $15 when it would usually cost $80 so yeah

$800 was a typo, it was actually $1800 which was still a steal on a three year old bike with only 1k miles on it. I bought it from some sketch tow company out in the desert north of Tucson. This was thirteen years ago. I put some 30k miles on it, then three more friends owned it after me. Pretty sure a guy I know still has it in Utah somewhere. I put a bobber frame on it and daily’d it all through college.
