Very easy... turn the front end right and remove the left side, turn the front end left and remove the right side.

I'm headed out in a little to the dealer to get some bushings to install tonight. I Googled the part number (56298-03) and found the instructions.

Appears to be just as straight forward as everyone says

I guess I have a question: I thought I read on an application listing that the poly bushing kit was for up to 2009 Touring...should the bushings be changed on an '11 Street Glide? Perhaps (and I can't for the life of me remember WHERE I saw that) the list I saw was just out-dated...

Gotta be an out of date listing. Harley website currently says '83 to current for Touring models. How important the poly bushings are depends a little on how high you go and wear. Current wear obviously is slim to none on an '11. Higher you go the more important. For some it's just a matter of being complete and thorough when doing a job. (Like me) Poly will last a lot longer than the rubber Harley used stock and can keep you from having to go in twice.

Makes sense Dew Me...I couldn't imagine HD actually upgrading the bushings along with the new frame, that might benefit ME, and that's not happening without an extra outlay of dollars!

I'll plan to swap mine out while I'm doing the bar swap this spring. As you said, easier to do this while everything else is apart and no "second time in" hassle.
