Default Dumb Evo question.


The left passenger loorboard mount on my '93 FLST is a wee bit loose and I can't get a wrench in there to tighten the nut. Any ideas? I was thinking about trying a crowsfoot wrench but not sure if it'll work. Anybody know for sure?

If you're talking about the nut I think you're talking about just yank the rear wheel and you have all the room you could possible want to get to it.

Is that your bike? Holy crap! Never seen one so clean!!

I'm with THC on this. Seems pulling the wheel (or maybe the rear pipe?) would give you access.

Once you get in there, maybe consider replacing that hex-head bolt with an Allen head so you can get to it easier next time?

FWIW it's easier to access a hex head than an allen bolt in that position.
You definitely need to pull the wheel to access an allen head bolt.

Looks like to me the yellow arrow is pointed at nothing...looks like there is an allen head bolt...that you need to remove the adjustable foot peg to access.

Yes, you will need to remove the Kuryakyn adjustable foot pegs.
