You needed a combination of universal joints, a long (8in) 1/4" extension with a small 10mm socket and a small 10mm wrench. Alternate between the 2. The front nut will require the wrench the most.

I only had to loosen the radiator bolts to swing it forward once (maybe the first time I did this), but it is not needed.

Where are you in Aurora?

I have some of the tops but not the ones exactly like the ones you mentioned. I am in the west side of Aurora, right off Orchard Rd and Illinois Ave

Don't fell bad about the fins. Even the Ducati black and white photo show pictures of a factory tech hitting the fins.

Tools of the Gods gentlemen. I usually start out with the really low profile ratchet (air) with the Cleco low profile socket. If I need more head clearance, I use the zero profile Cleco nutrunner (10mm for the header pipe). With the right options in tools, you can save yourself a lot of time, money and frustration

I remember when you posted that. I just wish I saw it before I did my job.

I bought a 13mm one the other day to make it easier to remove my "Gecko Custom made Horn bolt"

Holla at me if you get stuck and need a hand.

Kudos for the desire to finish what you started!
