$&@";)&. Damn shocks

Got a 2013 fatboy lo and no room to fit wrenches to loosen locknut and hold the shaft. Anyone got a solution?

Shotgun shock is the best solution.

Motorcycle jack or lift? Park it in a driveway with a tall block of wood under kickstand? Put the front tire up on a curb? Tip bike over one its side?

Ok, I was joking with that last one.

Jack it up, buy some shorter wrenches or buy the size you need and cut it down.

Lil. I was waiting for a crack about the shaft. Seem there isn't much space to loosen the locknut. I was hoping someone may know the size wrenches needed. I believe the nut is 1 in. Not sure for the shaft
