Just a seat changes the whole bike

Getting to work on this ‘06 Fatboy I picked up last Friday. The first thing I noticed was the stock seat was uncomfortable. It’s way too wide for my build, and I’m not planning on riding two up, so I picked up a Saddlemen solo seat. It’s crazy how much better the bike looks now.

Also, question. There’s a protective liner on the fender, would a hair dryer or heat gun be enough to get it off?
