It would take forever to type how to do it. I'd do a video if I had someone to hold a camera.
Some quick tips in no particular order:
Remove the oil dipstick and put a clean rag in the oil filler hole.
Remove the positive lead from above with a long insulated #3 screwdriver. (After the plastic tray is off.)
The rear ABS wiring is tight so just push off the bottom loop carefully then the rest.
The two big wire bundles can be released from the plastic clip and moved towards the front of the bike.
The tray has 3 "fasteners" to deal with. The metal one is obvious. The other two can be seen with a flashlight. Once you have them undone the tray comes out pretty easily.
There is a fabric removal strap under the battery.
The negative lead has to be removed before the battery will move any. Take it off from above like the positive lead.
In a nutshell, take your time and have a relaxed attitude.
If you have a specific question I can try to help.
We wish we had 4 more M8 Softails & unlimited time to put thousands of miles on each of them testing, but unfortunately we don’t.
So, we need your help.
We're currently testing an axle mounted license plate relocation kit for the Milwaukee 8 Softail Models. What we need is for a few Bikers to put some miles on these and provide a bit of feedback both positive and negative.
Not only will you be helping us as well as future customers; you also get the Relo Kit, with an LED Light bolt and a DK Custom T-Shirt.
We currently have two variations of the kit. One is slotted for an easier install, no need to remove the axle completely. The other is the traditional method utilizing a single 1” mounting hole that the axle passes thru.
Both brackets are CNC cut to match the newly designed Softail swingarm.
Please do not PM about this, please use the email below to let us know if you can put a couple of thousand miles on your M8 in the next month or so, letting us know your experience, along with some photos.
We still would like two more testers for Traditional Mount Plate Relo's on M8 Softails. If interested, shoot us an email or give a call.

Big Mule - This is possibly the best seat I've ever tried and like many here, I have spent a lot of money with more than a few aftermarket seats. One HUGE issue I've had with my bike having 16" apes is that on a real windy days on the highway as I am being push back from that wind I have to hold on and pull up of the bars, now I just lean on the backrest and not change the way I hold on to the bars. Also, being 15" wide it is a very comfortable seat. Well worth the $$.
I never had the stock sprung seat but I have a friend who still has his stock seat on his Xbones. Absolutely no comparison as far as comfort. This sport solo seat with backrest is an all day saddle for me. I had a Mustang wide solo and that was 17" wide, very comfortable but def not the best looking as far as the lines of the bike goes.
Here is another pick that shows the width of this sport solo.
