Tire removal with rear mud flap
I just ordered the Show Chrome rear mudflap and was hoping to mount it later this weekend. I also plan on replacing rear tire in the Spring, but am now worried the mudflap may make removal of tire difficult. Does anyone know if this is true?

I have a big mud flap and leave it in place. After the axle is drawn out and the wheel is free I just lift the bike high on the jack. Change the tyre, roll it back into place under the bike and carefully keep wheel alignment as I lower the bike back down to where I can slide the axle back in. Works for me without issue.

Rule#1: Refer to rule #2.

Thank guys. Yes, the Show Chrome mudflap is held on with nut and bolts, as well as some 3m tape. Therefore, I don't really want to have to remove it if possible. Hopefully, I can just jack up the RT high enough. I have changed rear tire on an old GS, but that didn't have all the plastic that the RT does.
