Default H D script axle cover. Easy to mount??

Winter in PA. When I cant ride I buy little things to add to my 2006 fxdi. How do I put the exhaust side cover on? Do I have to remove muffler or can I just pull it out a bit?

He means how does he put the axle cover on the side where the exhaust is monted. Does he have to remove the exhaust or not?

Have someone sit on the bike; it will force the swing arm to pivot upward and that will clear the axle enough to slip the cover past the mufflers. Or at least that worked for me.

Could also jack the bike and pull the bottom shock bolts. I use a small floor jack under the rear tire to help line the bolts up during reassembly.

Depends on where the shocks are set, if they are set on the first position maybe 130 lbs. will be enough weight but if the shocks are at the highest position then get the kids and the dog.
