I just got done putting my rear hugger on....WTF what a nightmare! Its like some kind of sick joke...The bolts are damn near impossible. Am I missing something? Is there some special tool that gets in those crevices with a torque key? If so where can I get this.I used an offset wrench and a piece if tape around a Torx bit. | ||

I removed my rear shock, put on jackstands and lifted the swingarm. Just took a few minutes. Frank. | ||

Good suggestion Frank, Jack stands under the passenger pegs allow the swing arm to drop down out of the way and make the fender hardware easier to reach. | ||

Know what you mean, I thought about taking mine off once, tried, then gave up. | ||

I generally raise the rear end of my M2 with a mild steel rod through the rear axle, and then put jack stands under the rod ends. If I lay across the seat, it compresses enough to get the left one. As I recall the right and the front were not too hard. Might have taken multiple adaptors on a socket drive, but worked. | ||

The hardest one was getting the bolt through the line bracket and into the swingarm on the left side.Came out a whole hell of alot easier than it went in. Thanks for the advice guys. Im glad it's not just me. |
