Default Sissy Bar Docking Hardware
Will I have to remove my rear wheel to install the docking hardware for the detachable sissy bar and saddlebag.

No, you should be able to reach all the bolts no problem. They're the same ones that hold the strut covers on.

I have an 08 1200C, and I didn't have to remve any thing, it is a little tricky, but you can do it. Good luck. Ride safe.

That depends on how far up in the fender your rear tire is. There ain't alot of room to replace the bolts, but it can be done. It's just easier to take the top shock bolts out and raise the rear.

For a half hour labor cost I just might let the dealer do it, I don't need no busted knuckles.

Worried about your manicure? Oh dear, what will the boys think?

No being an old man I tend to bleed very easy, but I wouldn't mind making them bleed from busting smart asses in the teeth.
