I just repainted my whole bike and inner fairing on my 08 flhx and so long as u take the ignition out as the manual says you wont have any problems. That tool is in case you not line up all three switch inside the switch. So just be careful to take the switch out in the fork lock postion and put it back in the exact same way you wont need the tool.
