fellas and ladies im new to the forum so forgive me if this has been touched on. i just added longer cables to my 08 crossbones, i assumed after watching numerouse you tube vids that i would have to remove my pipes. they were tite against my tranny cover, well after realising my nuts were rusted on and i didnt want to risk busting a stud i decided i had to come up with another soultion. there is enough room to take your alan screws out of the cover and drop it from the bottom. it is a bit more time consuming but it save you from risking breaking a stud!
