Swingarm cover Help
I have the chrome swingarm covers that you have to bolt in and I need help installing the right side cover. You have to remove the adjuster bolt but in order to do that I have to move the brake arm or take it out I think! Anyone have any easy way of removing the adjuster bolt without taking everything apart?

Thats exactly what I figured! I thought maybe someone had an easier way \ workaround...Oh well, Now I have another good reason to justify buying a lift. The wife loves when I spend $$$

RE: Swingarm cover Help
u guys must have a different brand or something-------------I bought mine from HD and didn't have to remove anything. It was a little tough---well; very tough without a lift---but I removed nothing

Yes, you have a different model (P/N), some like ours needs more labor, hehe... I didn't even needed a lift for that. I broke my back doing mine
. I'm getting a lift soon, it is a must...Yes a lift pays for itself when saving all those bucks instead of giving 'em away to the stealer.
Best regards.

RE: Swingarm cover Help
Do any of you guys use saddle bags with your covers I would love to have the swing arm axle covers on so when I take bags off I'll have the chrome rear end but parts book says they dont work with saddlebags

RE: Swingarm cover Help
No, in most of the aplications (H-D) is either axle covers or saddlebags. If you can see in my pics. I have the saddlebags support bracket but since I put the cover on, no more saddlebags, needless to say that my bike is lowered 2" in the rear end, so... less chances. One thing you can try is what I have in mind which is open (pry) the support brackets in order to make room between the axle cover and the saddlebags bottom... bummer.
