Default 93 FXSTS Starter Relay

Is there an easy way to change this? Seems like its in a horrible spot and not sure how to get to it. Thanks for any help on this.

I changed mine with one from auto zone but it was years ago...where is it located? I don't remember but I don't remember it being too hard.

If it's located anywhere near the location on my '88, it's on the rear debris guard in front of the rear tire attached to the frame by 4 bolts. The relay and circuit breaker are located there and although somewhat of a beetch to get at it's not terrible.

On my '94, the relay is easy to get to. It's under the seat, on top of the frame crossmember, next to the ignition module. There's a plastic cover held on with one screw, then the relay unplugs.

I had mine crap out on my 91 FXSTC and it could be gotten at without removing the rear wheel. It's been like 20 years ago but I did it while the bike was in the back of my pickup truck and it was located somewhere up under the rear fender near the seat. a couple of screws and it was plug and play.
