Do you have any advice on removing the rear tire on your bike? How did you get that retainer clip on and off?
I want to swap my rear brake rotor here soon.

it's in place and then tap it with a small hammer and that's it. Now with the stock exhaust it is a bit more difficult, it is best to remove the mufler first.

That is a Custom Dynamics Integrated Fat Boy LED Taillight.

I have it wired into the BCM, and then a CD Magic Strobes plugs into it, then the bullets plug into the magic strobes.

I use a pair of needle nose pliers to put the C clip back on. I set it in the groove, then put the point of the plier in the center of the axle and squeeze the C clip back down. A small hammer works as well.

I removed the rear wheel on my bike and from friends several times, I just use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the clips and for reinstall, make sure it's in place and then tap it with a small hammer and that's it.

Fran, what crash bars are you using again?
Did you use the rear sliders?
Any issues with exhaust or peg/board clearance on a flfbs?

DKCustom M8 Passenger Peg Conversion with BungKing Sportster Rear Peg sliders in the rear with short delrin sliders:

You can't install the standard bungking rear passenger peg sliders on a 2018 Fat Boy/Breakout because that particular year the fat boy and break out did not have the upper peg position bolthole that the other softails had.
So I went with the DKCustom+Sportster peg set up for the rear.

Your dangerous you know, I watched the SE Ohlins video and ended up getting a full front and rear set today over the 503 units and FKS-222 I had selected which apparently are never in stock. Dealer held a par back for me so I could pick it up in person. Should be able to install both this weekend.
