no there is no problem taking the rear covers off,its close but no big deal, you will need the torque adapter for the rocker bolts as the manual says, you do have a manual?

Did the same and went thru the rocker boxes, bike sounds the same as stock as for as internals go. No weird noises like I've heard people talk about off and on.

I just don't want to see any surprises after I actually started the swap....

Thanks.

No. Also, I wouldn't start this project without a shop manual. I made a little tool to torque the rocker cover bolts back properly. Many don't worry about it and just tighten them up evenly. But they were not hard to get off.
