Just ordered my 880's...now it's time to shop around for some Lyndall Z+ pads. I figure that since I'll have the tires off, I should replace the pads as well...that, and the wife said it was ok...:woohoo:

FYI, how hard is it to remove the wheels of the bike? I've got the manual, lift, and hopefully all the tools. I just can't see paying for 2-2 1/2 hours of labor (at $70 per hour) to have it done. I was quoted 30 minutes to have them mounted and balanced...that I can live with.

Any tricks, tips for removal?

If possible have a second person around to hand you the tools and parts you set down out of reach.:lol: The only other tricky part is making sure you line the rear wheel up. have a yardstick or tape measure handy and check the alignment before and after you tighten the axle nut. I'm sure it tells you how to check on dynas but for a softail you check from the axle to the swingarm pivot on each side.
