Side Cover Removal

There is nothing in the service book on how to take off the side covers on my 08 FLHT. Do you just give them a yank??

That's what I did on my '05... I was a little worried about it, but it is only held on with three push clips... kind of like a door panel of a truck...

Yep... There are 3 attachment points.. A good straight yank and you should have them off..

RE: Side Cover Removal

Ok, thanks. Their picking my bike up, here in Ohio, and I'm taking mybags offand thought maybe I'd pull thesidecovers too. Less chance of something getting scratched up.
