Before I start probing and prodding or worse--cutting, I figured I'd come to the fountain of knowledge here and ask the stupid question.
Is there a way to release this cable tie to reuse it? It needs to be removed in order to take the tank off.
Old me would have just cut it and replaced it with a black zip tie. New me is trying hard to keep this bike as OEM as humanly possible. The previous owner routed a battery tender lead through a place that has one of these same ties--so it makes me think it's possible. BTW...he routed the lead so seamlessly and clean that I didn't even realize it had been installed until I went to install one myself. I wish I knew who this guy was because he has much to teach about keeping a bike clean.
Thanks for the help!
