Ok since its going to rain for the next two weeks, figured I would take the bike apart for the speaker refit. Watched vids.I have all the bolts out that I can see and the pod does not budge. There is something by the black fork clamp that there is no way I can get to. Is that one of the bolts that has to come out? This thing is solid as a rock. I have 7 bolts out so far.


I

 

 

This is the only thing left I see by the forks and there is no way to get to it and its an allen head.

 

I just pulled my pods today, the 3 lower bolts on the brake side suck.
I ended up using a small right-angle allen wrench to get in there to break them loose, all the others were pretty easy to get to with a short open-end wrench or a swivel head socket adapter on a long extension.

I got lucky and came through without letting out any blood.

 

Never mind, I found it. All the way up front in the groove.

And they are stock. I can hear them at 80+mph. Must have super hearing. LOL

Nothing yet. Can't ride cause of all the rain so wanted to make sure the guy who owned it before me didn't change something I didn't know about being everyone said it can't be stock if I can hear it at 80+ mph. But it's stock. I must have good ears.

This is such a pain in the butt I just might leave it stock. I am not going to keep doing this over and over. F - that.

 

Ahhhh .... don't sell yourself short. Pod R&R gets easier after 2 or 3 times. Besides that, what better way to spend a rainy day than swapping out speakers and cussing the engineers that designed that setup.

 

Pods can be a bitch.
This is what I had to deal with on the brake side.
