I built the tools to remove it and did do one to test it, in hope of doing Traxxion cartridges some day or just tube replacement rather then needing to get the whole deal from the dealer and it cannot be bought separately. . It requires some heat to break the sealant free. Heat gun on low is sufficient. There's an o ring in the bottom for the actual sealing and is actually a Honda part, not available from HD. There is no grub screw to lock it up as is in some Metrics. In your case, I'd disassemble the unit and get a bodyshop to shoot it with a quality Urethane paint instead.
