Welcome from Virginia- Harley's can be a real pain to work on. Doing this kind of work for 45+ years or so. Either you need a 3/4 drive socket or a miniature screw driver set and everything has red locktite on it. You would think they built them to fly (up in the air HA) Easy way to fix the problem is to arrange with the local Harley dealer to put you on their 'New New Harley Ever Year Plan'. Couple guys on here on it.
