What's your prefered method to get to the header bolts?

(1/8) > >>

Zman:
I've read some go as far as taking the radiator out and others got there with 1/4 extensions and swivels? It's raining, again, so I think it's time......

VirginiaJim:
I generally have the front wheel and fender off and then take the side fairings off.  Also loosen the rad at the top.  That works for me but others can get in there without doing all that. 

Pokey:
What Jim said...........and if you install some fuji-lock nuts, you more than likely are done worrying about them.

notahobby66:
I recently did mine. Take off the lower fairing and have a few extensions and a swivel head for the rachet. Be carefull when tightening the header bolts not to slip off the bolts and damage the radiator. Most of mine were loose. One more thing, be patient, at first I did not think I would be able to get to all the bolts tightened without further removing of things but it can be done. Taking off the body work is the worst part of the job.

Pynikal:
so are these commonly loose from the factory??
