Its not a big deal at all. All those spacers can be pain when installing the wheel but you will get the hang of it. Its also a good idea to replace the pulley bolts with news ones and use loctite.

I have never had the rear wheel or belt off my fatboy, can you explain, thanks guys
The previous post says it all. It can be a bit of a pain until you figure out all the tricks and it's also best to have an extra set of hands around when reinstalling. Make sure you torque everything to spec and check for the proper amount of belt deflection.

I put a Fat Daddy on my rear last year. You know how that goes, made the rest of my rear end look like crap. Wanted to get a new pulley and rotor but didn't have the $$$. Settled for the cover. I say settled, but I think they look great at a fraction of the cost. Anyway, I didn't want to have to remove my wheel again (PITA). But I was able to install the cover without taking the wheel completly out. The hardest part is getting enough clearance to remove the bolts. If I remember correctly, I removed the brake pads. This gave just enough wiggle room to remove the bolts and install the cover. Good Luck.
not to sound like a dick,, but your better off buying a service manual.. then you will have torque specs and pictures /diagrams of what need to be done... its npot to hard,, but like said above,, the spacers are tricky to get back in,, you need to tighten the belt and line up the wheel after too...
