Night Train Night Mare
i picked up a kit to put a sissy bar on my 2000 night train and figured id bang it on there no problem. I now see that getting the existing hard out is a chore the only way i see getting the bolts out would be to take the tire off. Any help on this would be great.

Just remove your seat, remove the 2 screws holding the ECU, and move it out of the way. Reach into the fender from there with a 9/16" wrench to hold the 2 nuts on each side while you loosen/tighten the Torx bolts, and you're done. Much easier than taking half the darn bike apart.

The rear-most bolt has no separate nut- it's part of the fender. Those will simply unscrew. The next two forward bolts have nuts behind them (inside the fender). The two most forward bolts also have no separate nuts- they screw into the actual framehorn. The nuts are 9/16".
Keep in mind, the dealer will probably charge at least one hour's labor for 15 minutes' work.

Yea they got some serious something on them. \\; I think they are size 45 torx. \\; The 40 fits but will not give you the grip you need or will strip it out. \\; You need a long handle wrench to get the leverage to need to pop them loose.
