Can't remove the left side allen bolts in the manifold. I've removed top motor mount and horn for access but though some of my allen keys fit, I can't get enough room for a full 1/6 turn. Time for beer.
Ball end key or the Harley tool, can cut a bit off the key, put it in the bolt, get a spanner on that, lots of ways to skin this cat.
In the absence of a vice and workbench, I'll go buy a couple of g-clamps and a hacksaw tomorrow.I figured a short reach allen key might allow more movement but between all the tool shops in town there are precisely one set aaand they're metric.
can you sacrifice enough off the long end of a key the fits to be able to get a spanner on?
Do Harley make a special tool?
They do, looks like this, must admit it would be handy but I don't have one, what I do have is everything already mentioned and you can borrow what you need if you want just sing out and bring it back when you are done, offers there, up to you.
So.... was it a shortened Allen Key with ring spanner on the end?
Finger tighten everything in place then get the breather bolts torqued to spec first, then backing plate to manifold then manifold clamps.
The breather bolts will move the manifold.
