Replaced the derby cover on the wife's 883 mid mounts to change to the 50th anniv cover. No fluid loss and no removing mid mount peg. It was easy to do except for breaking the tension on factory bolts but no prob with pegs at all

An impact driver does wonders for breaking the screws loose the first time

Are the screws on the derby cover and foot peg Torx or hex? It looks like I'll have to buy a set of sockets.
