Removing fuel tank, front and rear fender
How difficult is it to remove the fuel tank, front and rear fender on an '09 Ultra Classic? I have one small spot on each piece that needs fixing and according to the guy that paints motorcycles they have to come off to fix and re-paint.
Any tricks to re-installing painted parts?

Front fender you have to remove the wheel because there are tabs on the bolts you have to bend flat to remove the bolts PITA. Tank is very easy, a few bolts, vent line and fuel line which has a quick disconnect. Rear fender will take the most time to remove. You should invest is a shop manual which gives you step by step instructions.

I would pay the 200 & make sure to take photos with time stamp before you drop off the bike. Make sure no new dents show up before he paints. I wish I could be more trusting but just can't.
To answer your question its easy, & no you don't need to drop the tire to remove the front fender. At least on mine I dont.
