Hello to all! My wife and I have recently purchased '08 Sporters(883L and 883XL) and are loving them! Have purchased the color matched side covers for my wifes bike. My question is how difficult is it to replace the right side cover? Thanks for any advice!

Welcome to the board. They are really easy to replace. If you got the owners manual with the bike there are instructions in it. I cannot remember exactly what you have to do off the top of my head but it is not difficult.

I think the color matching covers really change the look of the bike for the better and had it done to mine as well

Welcome from Michigan.
The covers are not hard to switch out. I put chrome covers on mine...
