Yes you should remove it first. It will stretch some. I had trouble with mine not fitting tight enough so I used double sided tape underneath it.

Ron, I do not have one on mine, but I would say " Yes and Yes " The leather will stretch to fit.

did anyone have to cut off any excess from the top end by the handle bars?

I just left the excess alone....tried to fold it over and stick it on but in won't stay. It don't interfere with anything.

I forgot till you posted that I had to cut the gas fill neck hole bigger on mine. It was off center. Just like me

[ronhenry4]

the gas cap is off center on mine as well i got it trimmed out to get it on but the slots for the plastic cover near the gas cap is off to so i may have to trim that as well.. so just leave the extra alone on the end?

I trimmed the front on mine and used 2 sided tape to hold it. Mine also did not align perfectly with the holes/slots, but with a little finessing it will fit...
