Default 95" install....special tools??
I have all the parts to install my 95" kit on my bike. I've been reading everything I can on doing the work but have one question. The service manual states to use special tools when not removing the motor from the frame to make life easyer. These include a special wrench for removing the rocker boxes. My question is has any one who has done this think it's worth buying these tools from harley (jims) or is it not worth it.

You can get by with the standard box and socket wrench's. Also you will need allen wrench's. It may make it easier, but not worth the extra money IMO
