Few extra pictures. The actual detail in the paint isn't too bad if it's a respray.

The motor sounds lovely too

 

Looks just fine !
Enjoy !

( may want to consider replacing the bottom belt guard )

Sure have large license plates "over there" !

Vin Is stating 1986 fxrs superglide[/QUOTE]

Can`t argue a VIN decoder but FXRS is Low rider , Superglide is FXR

 

nice bike!, I like the orange

 

From the 1986 FSM:

 

Lol, you'll be fine with no belt guards.

 

???? What???
EA is FXR...EB is FXRS
First FXR (S) was SuperGlide II... then ?? All Over the Map with Nomenclature.. including Low Rider... which is really Dumb...
Luckily FXR and FXRS ("P" "SP" and all that too) is all that is necessary!! To Me... The low rider will always be an FXS....Period...

So I've had a good check over the bike and decided on a full strip down and rebuild. Seeping gaskets, frame rust etc etc and she's going to be a project to spanner on in-between riding the Dyna.

All going well on the tear down but some surprises along the way. Two of the rocker bolts were sat inside the cylinder head, one was resting against the outer valve spring

Anyway front cylinder is pulled, but I'm stumped on the rear. I can't get a tool in to loosen off the rocker box covers. The gap between the frame and the bolt is tiny. I've dropped the front motor mount and still no luck. Shy of grinding an Allen key down to fit I'm out of ideas.

Anyone have any tips or tricks? It's the bolt circled in the third photo

You can:
Remove the front motor mount and lower the engine.
Or:
Cut down an allen wrench to fit. Also, you can cut off a piece of the allen wrench and use a little gear box end wrench, or just turn it with an open end wrench.
