It's held on with a push nut part # 8135B. Get a new one before you start. I managed to totally destroy the original getting it off without boogerin' up the little plastic stalk it pushes on to. Once you take the oil bag cover off, you'll see what's up. When I put mine back on, I ran a small bead of silicone caulk on the back - not enough to ooze out but enough to give it some grip.

you can take the bottom belt guard off without using a torx. should be 3 screws going into the bottom of the swing arm. take off your front fender and put a brace on it from lickscycles. they look sick man. next thing i'd do it get rid of all that ugly plastic underneath the tank and raise it 2'' or 2 1/2''. very easy mod and it gives the bike a nice look. i'll attach a pic of what i used to lift the tank. just use the flat piece.

Oh, and thanks for all the positive feedback guys. It means a lot to me since this is my first bike and I've really dug into making it "mine"! I've been pretty happy with being able to keep the costs within reason as well...for now.

Coming from a guy who owns an AWSOME sportster in my opinion, that is a very nice compliment to hear. Thanks. I looked at a lot of two ups, and I just kept coming back to the badlander for looks.
