I am installing New Chrome Rocker Covers onMy 01Sporty and got the old ones off and I am going back with the new ones and the Rear Cover is giving me a Hard Time, I managed to get the Lower and Middle Cover in Place but the Top One is Really Giving me a Hard Time going back in with the Frame, I had to work the old one out but did manage it.Does Anyone have this Technique figured out for installing these Covers?

 

Sorry I am not sure on an 01, but I just did mine on an 07... I did find that the rear one liked going on from the left side of the bike and the front from the right.. Of course having the tank and seat off really help also, but I bet you already have them off ;-) Good luck!

 

Thanks for the info, I will play with it some more tomorrow, I pretty much gave up on it earlier.
