Dyna Super Glide Custom Sissy Bar Install

I need some advice/help, I tired to install a rigid mount sissy bar on my FXDC today. When I tried to remove the bolt that holds the turn signal it will not come out as it hits the tire. Maybe I'm missing something and I;m just tired. I installed a D&D Fat Cat exhaust today too. Any assistance or help would be greatly appreciated. By the way it's q 2010.

Jack the bike up, so the back tire drops down some........either that or disconnect the shocks to let the swing arm swing down until you have clearance.

I thought of both of those, only problem is I don't have a jack. If I can't come up with anything else I'll try dropping the shocks. Thanks.

You can try letting the air out of the tire, that may give you enough clearance

If you have a scissor jack from a car that will work. Just place towards the rear of the frame and use a block of wood to protect the frame. I had to do that once before I had my bike jack. You will only need to raise it up a little bit to get the bolts to clear the tire...I know because I had the same problem when I was putting my docking kit on my bike......

are you using a socket and rachet? a racheting combination wrench might do the trick

Thanks for all the input. I tried letting air out of the tire, that didn't help either. My jack is back at my cabin in Ohio.. Just might have to wait until I travel there in Feb and bring it back.
