Default Ok I give
How in the hell can I get the right rear spark plug wire off the spark plug, the oil lines are in the way and I can't get anything in there to release the wire cap off the plug. The right front is no problem. But no way on the right rear. What was Harley thinking?

I had the gas tank off and flexed the oil lines out of the way.

It’s stuff like this that’s causing me to lose interest in working on my own bike. Working on it is one thing. Having to fight it every step of the way is another.
