I'll agree with those that say remove the left saddlebag - it really makes the job easier... Just be careful and mindful of the hardware as it comes off - there is a definite sequence with the spacer and washer... If you want to clean things up back there and do differential service easily, remove the right bag as well - it's only a fw more bolts...

Getting past the intimidation of removing the rear wheel the first time is the hardest part of the job... Once you have removed it and reinstalled it, you'll be smiling and saying "that wasn't bad at all"!!!
