how do i put these things on... (Read 134 times)

jspace YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 48	how do i put these things on... 06/23/12 at 10:36:58 any advice on how to install saddlebag brackets. I don't want to take the rear tire off and there doesn't seem to be a lot of room between the tire and the inside fender to get tools up there.

Reply #1 - 06/23/12 at 10:41:06 What every man needs is an EXCUSE TO BUY TOOLS! Go get yourself a set of ratcheting wrenches. It is a bit finicky, but you can get at the bolts without removing the wheel. The ratcheting wrenches make it a lot easier.

Oh sure Vers, tell him the easiest way to work on these things... Wink

Really is the best way to do the job. Floor jack under the emissions canister fin (the useless bracket on non-Cali bikes). Just have most of the tension in the shocks relaxed before you pull them loose. They can take off a fingernail pretty quick if they come off under tension.

Reply #4 - 06/23/12 at 18:43:34 i was going to put a small bottle jack between tire and the fender and lift the fender... just kidding.. thanks for the advice though. i've got a motorcycle jack and taking off the springs sounds like the easiest thing to do..
