Hello Bobby. I have an '08 and they keep talking about part of the sound package being a pain to remove in order to get the wheel out while on the center stand. Supposedly that is the reason for laying it on its side. Did you have to take out an amphifier or anything like that to get the tire out?lay down the bike,2x4???? i just changed the rear tire on my 2005,put on center stand,put in 1st gear,removed fender back & rail,took off lugs ,tilt the wheel on angle & roll the wheel out the back.
