What A Tangled Web we Weave
First of, I plan on doing most if not all of the wrenching on my new Wide Glide. So I purchased a new sissy to increase the comfort level for my BOSS!. Turns out, the tall sissy ( the one that I like ) only comes with the quick disco mount. So I have to install the quick disco system also.But! In order to install the quick disco, I have to install the tail light relocation system. BUT! To install the tail light relo system, I have to remove the rear fender. BUT! To remove the rear fender, I have to raise the bike and drop the rear shocks! Has anyone done this before? Is it really that hard?
Thanks for ANY advice.

Ya, easier said than done. I picked out the sissy that I liked and alread purchased the parts from the dealer. Well actually still waiting on the quick release kit. I Unboxed the parts that I got to admire them. And started reading through the install directions. I did plan ahead a little. I had already purchased the service manual a couple days before. Good thing to. Because some of the directions say: "See The Service Manual".

FX, the instructions are just the manufacturer’s opinion.....
I think I know which sissy bar you are talking about. I put one on my bob with the quick disconnects and re-located turn signals. I didn't remove the fender or even consider it. It's a little tricky/tedious, but doable. Your rear fender is a bit different then mine, but I would think it's still possible with out ripping apart the whole rear end.

I installed the quick disconnect system on my 2010 Wide Glide and it is not that bad, don't let the instuctions scare you, it's an easy evening project. Just take your time, go step by step and you should be fine.
