Radio bolts.

[tbird]

Any tips in getting the rear 2 bolts started on the radio. Reinstalling radio on a 07 ultra and not going well.

Ain't they a bitch?
Tips? Patience is a given but other than that (and IIRC) there are two holes in the Fairing Support that will allow you to insert a long shank Allen through to the radio. Offered as a tip in case you were not already aware.

Use a ball Allen too.

[Tacocaster]

Yes! A ball Allen will certainly help. There's an also a caution here......take your time, don't get frustrated and be careful you don't cross-thread the bolt. It's easy to do in this application when you loose yer sh&t. One of them, "Ask me how I know" scenarios.

Hmmmmmm....that might be a healthy thread on good ol' HTT...."Ask Me How I Know...."

If you think they might have been started crooked, it might be a good idea to pull the radio back out and run a tap in them to make sure the threads are not buggered up.

It usually helps to put the screw on the long reach ball end allen with a wrap of electrical tape. Once the screw starts, pull the driver off and remove the tape. That can save you a lot of time looking for the screw if it bumps something on the way in, and then falls to a secret hideout that only small screws, small snap rings, and other small essential items can find.

I remember taking apart / or disconnecting a lot of stuff in order to get a good shot at a couple of those bolts.
