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...

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. 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.
