Is it okay to use a heat gun to soften up the four rubber plugs in the cylinder fins, so that the plugs can be removed, so that you can paint the cylinder? Or is there a better method to remove the above plugs witout tearing the plugs in two?
Secondly, do the triple trees for a '75 Penton have a painted finish, polished alloy finish, or a brushed alloy finish?
Thank You

The last ones I removed I just oiled them and pulled them out with pliers. I think heating them would hurt the cause, make them gummy and sticky? Teddy
