FXR primary removal

During our last ride the oil filter mount backed it self out. I thought it was gunna be a quick fix but I could not get the bolt to start. In hind sight the problem was that the bolt was reverse thread. Either way it gave me a reason to pull the primary (becasue I had to pull the starter. This allowed me access to my shifter linkage which was loose. To start drain and remove your primary cover.
Remove the starter. 1 bolt on the front and 2 allen wrench bolts on the back.
remove the front 1.5" bolt
Remove the tensioner
Remove the clutch adjustment bolt. Release the tension on the allen wrench.
There is a c-clip inside the clutch backet
Remove the 1.125" bolt from inside the clutch basket. It is reverse threaded.
Mike stopped in, for moral support, with his sweet Lagniappe Shop T!!
There are two bolts fed from the backside under the trany that need to be removed.
Here is the reverse threaded bolt that holds the oil filter mount.
