[QUOTE="maffud, post: 1327650, member: 17635"] Well, I got that bolt out. I loosened the ABS module bracket (just by the two bolts under the subframe bar) and was able to push it out of the way just enough to push the bolt past it. I definitely needed another pair of hands to make this happen. However, I didn't think I would be able to do anything without being able to get to the bracket more than I could from the side, so I followed the service manual instructions to remove the airbox first. It seems like there is not much left intact on the bike besides the motor and tranny at this point. It definitely made it easier to access the shock, though! Even with the airbox removed, I couldn't find any way to get that sleeve out of its hole. It was still in place when I finally got the bolt out. At this point I am just hoping I can get it all back together in time to get it inspected before the current registration expires next month. It may be close... A question: Can anyone think of a reason why it might be a bad idea to insert the top bolt on the shock from the left instead of the right? This seems like it would make removal much easier. The bracket is not symmetrical, as only one side has a sleeve, so I am wary of going against the manual. [/QUOTE]
