Default Finally draggin'

Well, I'm finally draggin my bags too. I tried and tried to get that T-40 Torx bolt out of the battery box without removing the rear wheel and after two days I tried a different route. I think it turned out rather nicely. [

I put mine on a lift and took the shocks off, rear wheel drops down and I got my hand inside the wheel well with a ratchet and 40 torx. Had that bolt out in 30 seconds.

That wouldn't work for BH but thats kool on a "real bagger" LOL, because its out of site with the tour pack on. Never liked all that pulling out the battery box part of the install. Good going!

You could always fabricate some side panels to fill the space between the upper and lower rack bars too...
