Replacing the Tank Bib
I want to replace my tank bib how do you get to the end that is under the dash console. I have an 09 deluxe. Just not sure how to remove the console housing.

First you have to get the bike on a jack and extend the front forks all the way, then you have to remove your seat, and remove your main fuse and disconnect the battery terminals. Once that is done, you have to disconnect your fuel line and make sure that there is absolutely no fuel in the tank. Follow this by removing your handlebars and grips and disconnecting all the wiring from the handlebars.
...not really.. just gotta loosen up the bolt that holds the console on, and if it's anything like my FatBoy, there's a Torx bolt under the seat that holds the bottom on..its something like a T25 or T27 sized Torx, and not even loc-tited on
