Owners manual has no instructions. When I asked the HD mechanic he said, "it's a real pain don't bother". Winter is coming so I want to move battery indoors but looks like I need to remove the fuse block and red plastic guard. Gave up and thought I'd ask for pictures/help.

Thanks in advance.

you have to move the rear brake master cylinder and main circuit breaker out of the way ...and if i remember correctly you have to move the fuse block...

It comes out the seat area.

Why not a battery tender?

take the rear bodywork off. take off the cover for the fuse box and slide it out to the left. I've done it a few times, no problem

Wow, sounds like a pain. Battery tender is plan B but got several batteries for my bikes and friends bikes.

Does the rear bodywork require a pile of T-30 screws be removed? Any pictures, Rocketsprink?

Thanks so much,

Rear bodywork is five screws. Two upper front, two lower front, one center top. Remove screws, spread front arms, pull.

I just took mine out. Had to remove the bolt between the front and rear seat, the rear master cyl reservoir, starter solenoid and one fuse block. Make sure you cover the battery terminals with something non-conductive so they don't short (on sub-frame) on the way out :o)

I removed mine. You have to remove the rear plastic and you can get right to it.
